Hello.
In the early stages of developing a server application that will be required to send events to multiple client applications that will be running on different PC's.
I'm wondering what the best technology for doing this is. At the moment, I'm looking at MSMQ.
The server PC and client PC's will be running Windows 2000 (most likely in a Workgroup configuration). No, I can't upgrade the PC's to WinXP.
I was thinking of writing the events to a single MSMQ Queue on the server PC, and having the clients monitor this queue, but can see problems with this. Mainly, how to manage multiple clients peeking at the same queue, and when to remove the message.
Would .NET Remoting be a better alternative?
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Frank

I would suggest remoting. If you need more information on the subject,
I would suggest Ingo Rammer's book - "Advanced .NET Remoting". It is
well written, and covers most of the in's and out's you need to know to
get your distributed app working - including event handling with
multiple clients :) There are two versions of the book - one for C# and
one for VB.NET, so make sure you get the one that fits your needs the
best.

I found his website, but in his article ".NET Remoting Use Cases and Best Practices" he states that you should NOT use Remoting for events over a LAN. Am I reading this completely wrong???

Good article... And you are correct. He does seem to suggest that
events over a lan can be bad for scalabilty - and it does make sense
.... In light of that, I'll have to reverse my previous opinion and
suggest that you got the MSMQ route. But, that only works in an NT
based environment - but didn't you say that all your clients were going
to be W2k? If that's the case - MSMQ is not all that difficult. You'll
want to look in the System.Messagin g namespace for information...
I still recommend the book. It's been a while ago that I read it - but
I did find it useful at the time ;)
Sorry that I almost steard you wrong...

After some more hunting aournd the web, I've decided to go down the MSMQ path.
But, that only works in an NT

Yep, all running W2K.
I still recommend the book. It's been a while ago that I read it - but

I might keep a look out for it anyway.
Sorry that I almost steard you wrong...
I think I can forgive you for that <grin>

I'm writing a 2-players game that should support network mode. I'm now

It works synchronously, but somehow, when I play in client window,
both client and server have 17 fps, while when playing in server

Hello,
What is the best way to stop a remoting server (Singleton SAO) that has been
started with RemotingConfiguration.Configure().
For sure, I want to do this without quitting the application :-)
In fact, at a given time based on an internal event, I would like to stop
the remoting functionality within my process.
Many thanks,

OK, after lots of faffing I have finally gotten remoting working - basically
I have a windows service (the "server") and a forms app (the "client").
The forms app can call methods in the server, and I can get events fired on
the server to be picked up and acted on in the client app, so all is well. I
can even get two client apps on different machines talking to the same
server instance and the events pop up on both.
This is all good...

Hi guys,
I am struggling writing fast UDP server. It has to handle around 10000
UDP packets per second. I started building that with non blocking
socket and threads. Unfortunately my approach does not work at all.
I wrote a simple case test: client and server. The client sends 2200
packets within 0.137447118759 secs. The tcpdump received 2189 packets,
which is not bad at all.
But the server only handles 700 -- 870 packets, when it is...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
