dotnet remoting: I haven't used remoting before in .net only DCOM and COM+ with vb6.

I was wondering if the Server/listerner process will start
automatically when one of the objects it contains is requested ? Or
must it be running all the time for it to service the clients.

I'd like to build a remote server but don't want to make it into an NT
service if i don't have to. Will remote server start up if a client
makes a request ?.

Both my client and server will be .net and running on the same pc.
I'm wonder how calling a remote object would be different from just
referencing the object DLL directly from the client ?

Regards

Erick

your service has initialized and the remoting code has executed.

If this is the case, do you need remoting at all? Perhaps you're
complicating your solution?

Of course remoting can be used on a single PC - especially in cases where
there is a service and you need GUI access to the service. But since you
