Hi Everyone (Happy New Year!),
If I have clients that want to tell the server that something has
happened, what would be the difference between "remoting events" and
using an asynchronous (one way) call?
If I use an event, my server would use that event to "DoSomethin g" on
the server.
Similarly if I used an Async one way call, that would invoke a
server-side method that would also "DoSomethin g".
I've just been reading up on remoting events (Advanced .Net Remoting -
Ingo Rammer) and not only does it seem more complicated, but I don't
really see the difference between these two.
What am I missing?
If someone could tell me the differences (or pros and cons) of each
method that would be really useful.
I'm finding remoting to be a bit of a struggle at the moment.

wobbles,
If you want to tell the server something has happened, then using a
method call (optionally one-way or not), would be the best idea. The reason
for this is that if you want to have a server connected to a client through
an event, then the client has to open another channel for the server to
connect to it (the client is basically remoting itself to the server), and
that is just more overhead all around.
If anything, your method calls are events that you are firing to the
server (more or less). I think that remoting events should occur when the
server needs to tell the client something when the client does not ask. For
all other cases, the server listens and responds when the client talks
(through method calls, setting properties, etc, etc).
Hope this helps.

Hi Nicholas,
That makes a lot of sense + I hadn't thought of it that way before.
That helps a lot and was exactly the sort of answer I was looking for.
Brilliant!
Thanks,

Hi,
I have web client application and web server application. The client will
send remoting request to the server. In a normal condition, the client app
runs smoothly. But sometimes, the client will request queue up due to too
many requests from users, and that requests will trigger remoting server. At
the very beginning, the client still can handle the requests as the queue
will goes down, and the remoting response will return from the...

Suppose I am writing a program that has to execute
as series of steps, but at several of the steps, I want
to wait for external events to occur.
For example ( and this relates to another of my posts ),
say I want to execute a method, then wait for a flag
file. Ok, someone suggested using FileSystemWatcher.
So then, say I do that, how do I make an internal event

I need to write a server app to send images to client GUIs that are outside
of the server's domain.
The client will have the file system path to the image but can not access
the file system.
I am trying to decide if I should use remoting vs. writing a server that
uses networkstreams.
I have read that networkstreams\tcp programming should be faster than
remoting and is a better choice for what I am doing but that it is difficult
to code.

I am writing an app that needs to contain an object model that allows it to
be controlled similiar to something like Word. However, I am writing this in

happens on the UI (e.g. text box receives focus) and fire that via my object
model back to any remote client.
I also need the ability to...

I have an object that starts a thread to do a "process". One of the steps
inside this thread launches 12 other threads via a Delegate.BeginInvoke to
process. After these 12 threads are launched, the main thread waits. At the
completion of each subthread, the mainthread checks all 12 thread objects to
see if they are done. If they are, raise an event that says we're done.
So, it's kinda like this:

Hi,
I am very new to .NET Remoting and I try to run a simple program to
subscribe to an event raised by Remoting Class. The Remoting Server
initiates an instance of Remoting Class as Singleton / Server
activated mode on startup. The Remoting Client accesses the Remoting
Class through the interface of the Class and subscribes to an event
of
the Remoting Class that will be fired upon the private member value
change.
