Remoting like Windows Update

Hello all,
how can i solve the following problem:
a webclient requests a page - the page offers a downloadable component - the
client downloads and starts the component - the component sends data about a
specific application to the server - the server looks for a new version of
the application and sends the update to the client.

I think it is very similar to Microsofts windows update, but i dont know how
to develop the clients component which also runs as a server? Any Ideas???

Hello, We are at a very crucial decision making stage to select between .Net and Java. Our requirement is to download a class at runtime on the client computer and execute it using remoting or rmi. Just to keep my question short I am posting trimmed version of my code. //file: Serializable.cs

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 starting a project that may be suitable for vb.net, using windows forms. I want a rich client, thus win forms vs web forms. Most users will access the app data over a LAN, but some will be remote users, accessing via vpn. I could use terminal services for this but am thinking that an alternate technology like remoting or web servies could be viable. - Rich client - N-Tier - LAN & Internet clients (via VPN)

Hello folks, I appologize for the cross post, but I really need an answer on this: I do not think that I am seeing the whole picture here. I would like to create a windows service and a management console, using Visual Basic 2003. The windows service part, I think, is easy enough. I am more concerned with the remoting aspect of the project. Below is the general idea of my approach, please correct my where I am wrong.

I have a simple remote server object that raises an event when the list maintined by it changes. The idea is to enable the remote client to update the GUI when the server list changes. When the I create the server object without using remoting (i.e. just use new()) the event fires and the client updates the UI but when I create the server object as a remote object (using Activator.GetObject()) the event does not fire at all. I have pasted...

I'm having a problem with a pair of applications I'm developing. I have a server application which interacts with several instruments, and a client app which connects to the server and provides a UI for interacting with the instruments.

In normal usage there will be around 6 clients connected, with a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
