I'm working on a project which uses .NET Remoting for communication between the client application and an object server. For development, the client, server, and MSSQL database are all running on my local development machine. When I'm working at the office, the responsiveness is just fine. However, when I work from home the speed is ...
We have a remoting singleton server running in a separate windows service (let's call her RemotingService). The clients of the RemotingService are ASP.NET instances (many many). Currently, the clients remoting call RemotingService and blocks while the RemotingService call is serviced. However, the remoting service is getting complicated...
I have a client/server application that communicates with .Net remoting. I need my clients to be able to find the server(s) on the network without requiring client-side configuration. As far as I know, there is no support for discovery in remoting. I am prepared to implement a UDP solution where the clients will be able to find the ser...
Given that my client code knows everything it needs to about the remoting object, what's the simplest way to connect to it? This is what I'm doing at the moment: ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new HttpChannel(), false); RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType( typeof(IRemoteServer), "RemoteServer.rem", WellKnownObjectM...
I am using .NET remoting to retrieve periodic status updates from a Windows service into a 'controller' application which is used to display some live stats about what the service is doing. The resulting network traffic is huge - many times the size of the data for the updates - so clearly I have implemented the remoting code incorrectl...
I want to catch all unhandled exceptions thrown in a remote object on the server and log them there before I translate them into some custom exception so that specific exceptions do not cross the client/server boundary. I think I have to use a custom channel sync, but can anyone confirm this and/or have any other advice to give? ...
I have two unrelated processes that use .NET assemblies as plugins. However, either process can be started/stopped at any time. I can't rely on a particular process being the server. In fact, there may be multiple copies running of one of the processes, but only one of the other. I initially implemented a solution based off of this arti...
(This is a followup to my previous question about measuring .NET remoting traffic.) When I am testing our Windows service / service controller GUI combination, it is often most convenient to run both pieces on my development box. With this setup, the remoting traffic between the two is via loopback, not through the Ethernet card. Are t...
Hessian is a custom binary serialization protocol, (which is open-source - I think), that forms the basis for a binary cross platform remoting framework. I'd like to know if anyone here has used it, and if so, what sort of performance can we expect from a solution that bridges a Java app on one side with a C# app on the other. (Let us co...
I need to find out the external IP of the computer a C# application is running on. In the application I have a connection (via .NET remoting) to a server. Is there a good way to get the address of the client on the server side? (I have edited the question, to be a little more clear. I'm apologize to all kind people who did their best ...
if you uses Mono Remoting on Linux, what's your work-around for DateTime marshalling incompatibility between Mono and .NET Remoting? i'm using WinForms on Windows using .NET 2.0 runtime, using Remoting on Linux using Mono. i cannot yet use Mono runtime on both ends as Mono's DataGridView isn't yet working. [UPDATE] i used Mono 1.9 wh...
For a typical Web client -to- Servlet/WS -to- Business Tier (Spring or EJB) app, what are the trade-offs of approaches like remote RPC or messaging for Web (Servlet) tier to remote Business tier, aside from the basic sync/async aspects? ...
This is about when a .NET remoting exception is thrown. If you take a look at MSDN, it will mention that a remoting exception is thrown when something goes wrong with remoting. If my server is not running, I get a socket exception which is fine. What I am trying to figure out is: does getting a remoting exception indicate for sure that...
I'm toying with my first remoting project and I need to create a RemotableType DLL. I know I can compile it by hand with csc, but I wonder if there are some facilities in place on Visual Studio to handle the Remoting case, or, more specificly, to tell it that a specific file should be compiled as a .dll without having to add another proj...
I am using .NET Remoting. My server/hoster is a Windows Service. It will sometimes work just fine and other times it will process one request and then it does not process any more (until I restart it). It is running as a windows service Here is the code from the Windows Service: using System; using System.Collections.Generi...
Hi, I'm new to both Web Services and RMI and I wonder which is the better way to do remoting between different web applications, when these applications are all written in Java, that is when different programming languages don't matter (which would be the advantage of WS). While on the one hand I would guess that there's a performance ...
In an Adobe flex applicaiton using BlazeDS AMF remoting, what is the best stategy for keeping the local data fresh and in synch with the backend database? In a typical web application, web pages refresh the view each time they are loaded, so the data in the view is never too old. In a Flex application, there is the tempation to load...
We have been using GenuineChannels in our product for the last 4 years. GenuineChannels now appears to have become unsupported and the main developer guy Dmitri has I think joined Microsoft. I have the source as part of the product but not the networking / .net knowledge to support it. Has anyone found a good alternative to GenuineChann...
Hello, I have an app that is built using .Net remoting. When authenticating, If there is an error, I threw an exception on the server. The exception is serializable. But when the exception is thrown on the server, Sometimes I see an error on the client side that says "An established connection was aborted by the software in your host ma...
When calling a remote service (e.g. over RMI) to load a list of entities from a database using Hibernate, how do you manage it to initialize all the fields and references the client needs? Example: The client calls a remote method to load all customers. With each customer the client wants the reference to the customer's list of bought a...
