* Proven best-seller and award winner on the market. Insiders highly recommended this title.

* More than 150 pages of new material plus a preview of changes for Whidbey (Visual Studio 2005).

* Goes far beyond any documentation, white papers and specialist documents available on the subject.

Advanced .NET Remoting is the first book on the market that offers in-depth coverage of the .NET Remoting Framework. The book is divided into two sectionsthe first detailing the specifics of the framework and its capabilities in real-world applications. Topics include formatters, channels, lifetime issues, security, configuration files, and the basics of server-activated objects versus client-activated objects. Also covered in detail are Windows Services, IIS, and server-side hosting of remotable components in console applications.

The second part of the book presents an unprecedented view of .NET Remoting internals. Author Ingo Rammer shows how the framework uses message sinks and sink providers, and gives in-depth instruction on how to implement message and channel sinks. These chapters also give insight into the synchronous and asynchronous message processing within the framework.

Going far beyond the information youll gather from…

*Provided tools complement the popular Service Oriented architectural design style advocated by Microsoft.

*Covers breadth of Remoting, Reflection and Threading in a minimum amount of space.

*Acts as a one-volume bible and desk reference for working .NET programmers.

This is a hands-on guide that shows programmers both how to use standard remoting capabilities and how to extend and customize the framework using VB.NET.

Since the announcement of .NET, a lot of attention has been paid to the new inter-application communication possibilities offered by web services. But in fact, the core technology in .NET for communication between distributed application components is .NET remoting. Remoting is the successor to Microsoft DCOM, and enables .NET application developers to easily access code running on remote computers.

Remoting offers developers many ways to customize the communications process, for efficiency, security, performance and power, and allows seamless integration of components running on several computers into a single application. This power makes remoting appear complex and difficult, but this book exposes the full power of remoting to Visual Basic .NET developers in a way that will ensure they have a deep understanding of what remoting is capable of, and how they can make it work the way they want.

This title shows developers how to build Internet-based, distributed applications using Microsoft .NET Remoting, which enables powerful remote interaction among objects. A fundamental understanding of .NET Remoting is crucial as developers shift to developing distributed, Internet-based applications. Until recently, DCOM was the preferred method for developing distributed applications on Microsoft platforms. But as this book demonstrates, the .NET Remoting architecture is much easier to use and extend than DCOM. The book covers all aspects of .NET Remoting, including in-depth coverage of the .NET Remoting architecture plus concrete examples, best practices, and performance tips to show how to extend and customize the framework.

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…

A guide to utilizing Microsoft's new distributed application infrastructure for creating efficient scalable systems, this book deals with the complexities of the remoting infrastructure. Covered are topics such as remoting objects by reference and value, client- and serveractivated objects, channel and formatter customization, configuration, hosting, and COM+ integration with EnterpriseServices. Distributed application history and architecture are discussed, and several case studies demonstrating how to discern which distributed application technology works best for various scenarios are included.

Barnaby describes how VB.NET developers can use the new .NET technologies to build fast, scalable, and robust distributed applications.

This easy-to-use introduction to Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is ideal for developers who want to learn to build services on a company network or as part of an enterprise system. Built into Windows Vista and Longhorn, and available for Windows XP and Windows 2003, WCF provides a platform for service-oriented architecture (SOA) that enables secure and reliable communication among systems within an organization or across the Internet. With WCF, software developers can focus on their business applications and not the plumbing required to connect them. Furthermore, with WCF developers can learn a single programming API to achieve results previously provided by ASMX, Enterprise Services and .NET Remoting. Learning WCF removes the complexity of using this platform by providing detailed answers, explanations and code samples for the most common questions asked by software developers.

Windows Communication Foundation (or WCF, formerly code name "Indigo") provides…
