Product Description

Product Description
  • With expert guidance and real–world examples, this book presents a detailed look at Remoting–the new Microsoft technology for creating and accessing remote objects on a network or over the Internet
  • Provides insider coverage of the "plumbing" for Microsoft .NET Web services from someone who helped develop the .NET Mobile Internet Toolkit
  • Includes more extensive discussions of Remoting than any other book on .NET–a must for COM/COM+ developers who want to make the jump to Remoting
  • Companion Web site includes code examples and executables


From the Back Cover
Harness the power of .NET Remoting to build complex and secure distributed applications

Microsoft’s .NET Remoting takes building distributed applications to the next level. This innovative book, written by Microsoft insider David Conger, gets you up and running with .NET Remoting – fast. Starting with the basics of .NET technologies and tools as well as a simple client/server program, you’ll learn how to exchange data across networks and communicate with remote objects and other distributed systems. You’ll also learn how to securely deploy remote objects and client programs on networks, and then across the Internet as Web services. Finally, Conger demonstrates how you can extend and enhance the capabilities of the .NET Remoting system in order to use it to its full potential.

Using a comprehensible step–by–step approach and numerous C# code examples, this book will show you how to use .NET Remoting to:

  • Build multi–tiered applications that can interoperate with components written in different languages
  • Use remote objects as Web services to provide secure access to corporate applications
  • Manage the "lifetime" of remote objects by controlling and maintaining their state
  • Add custom security measures to distributed applications
  • Execute asynchronous calls across networks

The companion Web site contains all the source code and executables from the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected., 31 Jul 2005
By Michael Moreno (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am the architect of a multitiers DCOM application which has got many exes and dlls. We need to expand the functionalities of this application with a new tiers that we are developping in .Net.

I thought this book - given its title - would help and answer some very specific questions such as:
- How can a server fire an event to one or more clients?
- How can a client pass an interface to the server so that the server can query back the client?
- How can you have several instances of a server or clients without ending up with a jungle of Tcp Channels to register and maintain?
- How do I communicate efficiently with a DCOM server/dll
- How to implement callbacks (the so called callback in the book are not callback but only the "OnTerminate" asynchronous delegate which concept is explained in any basic C# book).
- etc

None of these questions was answered in this book. You will find in the 250 pages of this book what a general .Net book summarizes in 30 pages or so. It is very disappointing.

This book is great at explaining the obvious and may be great for a real beginner who has never written any distributed application and who has no idea what a server and a client is. In this book these concepts are defined. That may help young developpers. But I am afraid to say that the professionals will not find the answer to any question they may have. Not a single one.
