.NET Remoting vs Web Services

[=?Utf-8?B?UGV0ZXI=?=]

What are the factors that I should consider in choosing .NET Remoting vs Web
Services when an application will be deveoped using .net 2.0 and above? I
think I need to consider at least the following factors:

Performance
Security
Cost of Implementation
Cost of Maintenance
Technical Skills (what are the skills needed in .net remoting and Web
Services?)

good in both cases. read there http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms996381.aspx
if your consider to use the remoting in cases except the intranet/binary
then the web services performance is equal to remoting

PSecurity

WS is more usable (declarative) and has standard (WS-*) specifications

PCost of Implementation

WS is fastier (declarativenes s)

PCost of Maintenance

WS. Migrating to the WCF is more changeless

Hi,

I think that Remoting is used with clients using .net framework (all of
them) while web services are more general but less efficient than remoting.

So if your application will communicate with other clients developed with
..NET I recommend using remoting for efficience and faster development. If it
has to 'talk' with unknown apps in the future you may consider doing it with
web services.

I'm very far to have a deep knowledge about this stuff but I think this is
the basic idea. I hope it helps,

Hi Michael,

It seems WS is better. What are some main reasons for people to use .net
remoting? Based on .net 3.0, does it seem that MS is promoting/enhancing WS
but .net remoting?

Hello Peter,

..net was used instead of DCOM, generally.
