dotnet remoting: I'm sorry if this a silly question be can someone please confirm that
you can;t use a dll as a .net remoting server (host)

Thanks in advance

Chris

I don't see why not, it all depends on how the dll is implemented.

I havent tried it myself, but the issue would be starting it.My remoting
server is in a dll, however is referenced by a managed exe that starts it.

I would try to search for how to start a dll via svchost. If you can get
that far it should be a breeze to get your svr into a dll.

I just turned my remoting server into a windows service, so it's always
on and available and I can control it via Control Panel.

Maybe that's what you want?

Thanks for the information - unfortuantly I can't turn it into a
service as it needs to be loaded with another application (AutoCAD to
be exact) but thanks for the information

So you want to set up a server that can broadcast, but create it as a dll,
not an exe, and then have other clients remote its objects?

That's the one - the aim is to be able to control AutoCAD from external
applications.
Anyway, I have successfully got the server started, however I now get
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name Client, or one
of its dependencies, was not found raised.....

Yes you can, and I do. I've implemented a dll with a "C" interface that is
itself a remoting server and a client. Here is a references I found very
useful.
