dotnet distributed apps: Does anyone have a pattern reference that would allow me to dynamically
switch between instantiating local objects v. remote objects? I'm
particularly interested in anything that uses WCF to manage the remoting
options.

Hello Jay,

Look at the InvensionOfControl pattern, if I undestood u correctly

How does this compare to just using a factory pattern? Couldn't the
factory just return the correct object (local object or proxy for remote
object)? What more do the inversion of control pattern implementations
(dependency injection or service locator) add?

Hello Jay,

Read here http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/09/DesignPatterns/
Hope it helps.

Factory relates more to the single application design (GOF wrote abt apps
that hardly overcome boundaries)
Now, the distribution fashion shift aspects of design and conventional patterns
need to be reviewed a bit.
