Remoting Example: Dynamic Publication

  • Artigo

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).

.NET Remoting supports only default constructors with server-activated remotable types. To publish an object after creating it with a specific constructor and have complete control over the publication of that specific instance, you can publish your instance programmatically.

Caution noteCaution

.NET Remoting does not do authentication or encryption by default. Therefore, it is recommended that you take all necessary steps to verify the identity of clients or servers before interacting with them remotely. Because .NET Remoting applications require FullTrust permissions to execute, if an unauthorized client were granted access on your server, the client could execute code as though it were fully-trusted. Always authenticate your endpoints and encrypt the communication streams. For more information see Security in Remoting.

To compile and run this sample

  • Type the following commands at the command prompt:

    vbc -t:library remote.vb
vbc -r:System.Runtime.Remoting.dll -r:remote.dll server.vb
vbc -r:System.Runtime.Remoting.dll -r:remote.dll client.vb

csc -t:library remote.cs
csc -r:System.Runtime.Remoting.dll -r:remote.dll server.cs
csc -r:System.Runtime.Remoting.dll -r:remote.dll client.cs
