dotnet remoting: I am trying the sample remoting application "hello" from the quickstart
"Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\SDK\v1.1\QuickStart\howto\samples\remoting\hello" under Windows XP
and .NET 1.1. The applications (server.exe and client.exe) work fine on
same machine, but when I put the server.exe on another machine, and
start server.exe, I get the following exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Parameter name: type
at System.Runtime.Remoting.WellKnownServiceTypeEntry..ctor(Type type,
String
objectUri, WellKnownObjectMode mode)
at
System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType

(Type type, String objectUri, WellKnownObjectMode mode)
at RemotingSamples.Sample.Main(String[] args)

Does anyone know what the problem here is?

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Soni,

thanks for your help. I actually did what you suggested, but still wasn't
successful. But then I tried it on a fresly installed machine with NET 1.1
and now it worked. So I don't know exactly what the problem was.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
Volkan Arslan
