What's a practical use of .Net remoting?

[VMI]

I'm working with the CSLA and a big part of this framework is .Net remoting,
which I would like to understand.
What would a practical use of .Net remoting be? I read several descriptions,
but I wasn't able to apply to a real-life situation.
For most of these things, my principal question usually is, "Why would I
want to use .Net Remoting?"

Thanks.

In a nutshell, Remoting provides an infrastructure to make method calls or
transfer messages between two appdomains or even between two different
machines.

Say you have a windows service that collects and processes data. You need a
way to access this data from the service from another application. Remoting
is one way to do this.
