Introducing .NET Remoting
Introduction
.NET Remoting provides a powerful and high performance way of working with remote objects. Architecturally, .NET Remote objects are a perfect fit for accessing resources across the network without the overhead posed by SOAP based WebServices. .NET Remoting is easier to use than Java's RMI, but definately more difficult than creating a WebService.
In this article, we will create a remote object that will return an Object read in from the database. I've also included an alternate object that omits the database functionality in order to allow those that don't have a database available to still play with .NET remoting. Make sure you are using Visual Studio.NET Beta 2 when attempting this project.

The beginning of this year holiday season will belong to mocks. Ronnie and Stephen will take us for a tour around exciting world of unit testing.
forget that last post ...
I found it in my code ... non-application test code I threw in on the quick ... cause the StackOverflow.
Hey, did you ever find out what your problem was?
I got the same error on a completely different project.
Same M.O. ...
... unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
during the first call to the object that was returned from the "Activator.GetObject()" call.
I encountered the following error message when running the ResumeClient.exe:
" An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in mscorlib.dll "
at the following line of code:
Resume resume = loader.GetResumeByUserID(1); ;
but I was able to observe the "New Reference Added!" string on the console of the ResumeSuperServer.
Could I safely assume that I already have "loader" as an object of "ResumeLoader", but I failed to obtain "resume" as an object of "Resume" ?
I was looking for a Remoting Sample for beginners for weeks and this was the first that made absolute sense to me. If you are a person with an average IQ like myself, and want to understand the basics of remoting implimentation, this is the tutorial for you!!
Thanks David for making learning Remoting easy and fun!!
I've been looking for a way to implement a cross application boundary component in C# .NET for most of this week. This looks like it will suit my needs perfectly. Thanks.
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll update the tutorial
change
ResumeLoader loader = (ResumeLoader)Activator.GetObject(
typeof(ResumeServer), "tcp://localhost:9932/ResumeLoader");
if(rs==null)
to
ResumeLoader loader = (ResumeLoader)Activator.GetObject(
typeof(ResumeLoader), "tcp://localhost:9932/ResumeLoader");
if(loader==null)
Note the typeof() change and the change of the test item.
Hope that is right (I would hate to have typos in my post fixing typos)
