remoting client -> interface based question

[Tom]

I have a question.. I am using remoting but on my client side I chose to use
an interface. As a result I was wondering if its still possible to place the
configuration details into a xml config file ?

I have not seen any examples of this does anyone know how I can do this ?
All I've seen are example such as below where an interface calling the
server as such. but I would like to not use this and instead call the config
file as its easily changed without the need to recompile

IRemotingExampl eService resService
=(IRemotingExam pleService)Acti vator.GetObject (

typeof(IRemotin gExampleService ),

"tcp://localhost:9988/RemotingExample Service");

Console.WriteLi ne("RESUME:\n" + resService.GetF ormattedResume( ));

Thanks

Tom

Instead of using the remoting config on the client side (which apart from setting up channel/formatter combinations other than the defaults is only really used for redirecting new for a type - this doesn't work for interfaces) why not use the appSettings section

<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="URL" value="tcp://localhost:9988/RemotingExample Service"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Then your code can look like this

string url = ConfigurationSe ttings.AppSetti ngs["URL"];
IRemotingExampl eService resService =(IRemotingExam pleService)Acti vator.GetObject ( typeof(IRemotin gExampleService ), url);
Console.WriteLi ne("RESUME:\n" + resService.GetF ormattedResume( ));
