Well I am far from an expert, and worked only in 2.0 version, no WFC experience, but...
The server has the "real" object and the client gets a proxy. The framework takes care of all all the networking and marshaling. The only parts you have to take care of are authoring the class to inherit System.MarshalByRefObject and configuration and maybe a server process (you can use IIS to host as server). Unfortunately there are many choices which complicates trying to get your head around it. I followed the Remoting Chapter in a book that started with the simplest and worked up through I think all of them in complete executing examples.
So like the first example goes something like this:
1) you create a MarshalByRefObject class in an assembly project. (very little code)
with a simple method.
here is what I used
public string GetTime(string sid)
{
string sret = String.Format("{0}@{1}", sid, DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString());
Console.WriteLine("NetTime.GetTime: {0}", sret);
return sret;
}
2) you create a Server process project (Console) that references the assembly from step #1,
sets up the Channel(s) (port and/or protocol)
and registers the class. (very little code)
and does ???? to keep executing of course.
3) you create or use a client process project to reference the assembly
the client code asks for the proxy instance by providing the Channel information. (very little code)
and finally having the proxy object, calls the method.
That example has all the channel information hard coded, then you do one that uses a config file to contain the channel information then you do one that uses IIS to host as the Server. All of these require very little code.
The book was "Professional C# 2005"

i am having problem while installing vs.net 2005 and sqlserver 2005. Problem is that vs installs dotnet framework 2.0 and after installation of that when i tried to install sqlserver 2005 that installs dotnet framework 2.0 beta. they both conflict with each other.
2ndly plz tell me how to check whether sqlserver 2000 is correctly installed because when i run my application it always gives sql connectivity error i.e under default setting sql server doesn't allow remote connections. i am using win xp service pack 2.

Then you are using a beta version of SQL Server 2005 - Please don't.

I thought you said it was SQL Server 2005. SQL Server 2000 does not install any .NET framework.

If you are giving the machine name in the connection string then you must enable TCP/IP connections.

hi
how can I execute .Net programing on an OS that doesn't have .NetFramework!?
like win98!
|
|
|
|
|
Install .Net? .Net will install on windows 98.
There are commercial packages around that will allow you to run .Net apps without the framework installed but I belive these wont work on OS's that .Net doesn't support.
|
|
|
|
|
And those packages that let you avoid the .NET Framework cost a small fortune.

awwwww you spoiled the suprise :P

Hi,
I need to create and Ms-Word addin that will add a footer to all the pages of an open document. I have browsed and got some code.
I have referred MS knowledgebase article and have created an addin, but that code is not adding any button to the commandbar of Word. It did one for outlook. When I made some changes to the code to make it word specific, it still didn't do anything. I have written the following code in OnStartupComplete method:
object oMissing=System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
CommandBars cmdBar = wordApp.ActiveDocument.CommandBars;
try
{
this.myButton = (CommandBarButton)cmdBar["Tools"].Controls.Add(1, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing);
}
catch
{
this.myButton = (CommandBarButton)cmdBar["Tools"].Controls.Add(MsoControlType.msoControlButton, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing);
this.myButton.Caption ="Hello";
this.myButton.Style=MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonCaption;
}
this.myButton.Tag ="Hello Butom";
this.myButton.OnAction="MyAddin1.Connect";
this.myButton.Visible =true;
this.myButton.Click += new _CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(this.myButton_Click);
But this is not working. I am also not able to debug it.
Please help!!!!

I'm gonna try using remoting with an IPC channel. I haven't seen any evidence that a given remoting channel is bi-directional.
I'm either just not seeing it, or it doesn't do it. Can anyone tell me which is the case.
If a single IPC channel is not bi-directional, can a given app be both a client and a server?

To use it bi-directionally you'll need to set the SerializationLevel to full.
Heres how you do that with configuration files:
note that this is for tcp and binary formatting but it's pretty much the same for any formatter and channel (with a few different attributes in the channel def).
client
<system.runtime.remoting>
<application name="xxx">
<client>
<wellknown type="xxx, xxx" url="tcp://127.0.0.1:xxx/xxx/xxx.rem"/>
</client>
<channels>
<channel ref="tcp" port="0">
<serverProviders>
<formatter ref="binary" typeFilterLevel="Full" />
</serverProviders>
<clientProviders>
<formatter ref="binary"/>
</clientProviders>
</channel>
</channels>
</application>
</system.runtime.remoting>
server
<system.runtime.remoting>
<application name="xxx">
<service>
<wellknown mode="Singleton" type="xxx, xxx" objectUri="xxx.rem"/>
</service>
<channels>
<channel ref="tcp" port="xxx">
<serverProviders>
<formatter ref="binary" typeFilterLevel="Full" />
</serverProviders>
<clientProviders>
<formatter ref="binary"/>
</clientProviders>
</channel>
</channels>
</application>
</system.runtime.remoting>
It can take some fiddling* to get the config files right but it's well worth it for the ease of configuration later on.
* read: days of looking for single wrong cased letters and trying different combinations.
See the way "wellknown" is all lowercase? when done progromatically they do it WellKnown. Because of that i put wellKnown and it took me agood couple of hours dealing with the inadiquate exceptions to find that one ... even had my boss over helping for an hour of that.
Just a note with the IPC channel. It has a bug with remoting events. Now most of the time you shouldn't rmeote events anyway but you'll often want to with IPC as it's obviously on the same machine and so not so bad to do. THe issue is that after your first client disconnects the server will break. heh ... not so good huh? This means for now you'll have to use TCP, but on the bright side if you use the remoting configuration files (and you should ) then its very easy to switch channels.

Ya know, if you put a pre tag around that, it'll format...

I did ... and it still ate half of the tags :/
thats when I then switched to using html encoding X(

Either way, I can't seem to get my head around this remoting stuff.

hmmm I'll try and put up an article on how I personally do it. I have the little exmaple project I came up with for that bug report which I'll try and pad out with an article. It covers most of the basics and imo impliments some important stuff which is often missing from remoting examples (like shared interfaces and use of config files).
I'll see if I can get round to it tonight (I'll be home in 2 hours) and post it up before I go to bed.

As answer to your question
John Simmons / outlaw programmer wrote: can a given app be both a client and a server
the answer is yes.
I've been home on paternityleave for 5 weeks and bored as I was of Soapseries in the evening;), I started making a chatserver and clients using remoting. I created two objects to expose through remoting - server channel object and client channel object. When I fire up the server, it starts a remoting server and exposes the server channel object. I then created a method in the server channel to allow clients to register with the server. When the client fires, it too sets up its own remoting server and exposes the client channel. Upon client registration, the server retrieves the remoting proxy from the client for bi-directional communication.
Hope that's of some help.
Best of luck!
