CallContexts and Direct Remoting

This topic is specific to a legacy technology that is retained for backward compatibility with existing applications and is not recommended for new development. Distributed applications should now be developed using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

This section describes the use of the CallContext class and dynamic publication.
