Please help on remoting

[MS Newsgroups]

Hi,

I am trying to get my head around remoting. I have managed to configure the
samples on MSDN and that is working fine. I have now tried to build my own
remoting application to test this and i can't get the application to
"Remote" basically what happens is that the client side uses the dll in the
same directory instead of the remote one. I can test this by stopping the
hosting application, and the client still works. I have a feeling that this
has something to do with the configuration file i am using. I will paste
some code below, and i would really appreciate if someone could let me know
where i am going wrong.

Many thanks

Niclas
