| .NET Remoting ( A Simple Approach) |
| C# Help |
| .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 rows from a database table. For the sake of simplicity i have used the NorthWind database that is packed with the installation of the Microsoft SQL Server. |

| .NET Remoting - The Interface Approach |
| C# Help |
| In this article, we will create a remote object, and access this object using an interface. This method is important when creating a physical separation between business tier and consumer code. In traditional Remoting approaches, to access a remote object, you need a copy of that object on the client machine. With this approach, the metadata is split into a separate library that can be copied to the client machine. |

| .NET Remoting Contexts |
| C#Today |
| In a distributed architecture, disparate components co-operate to perform work, and in such an architecture there needs to be a streamlined infrastructure for providing cross object communication. .NET framework introduces a new one, called .NET Remoting. .NET remoting is the glue that links together components (aka assemblies) in different .NET application domains. In addition to the marshalling of calls across these app domains, the remoting infrastructure also maintains a context for each assembly, and each method call that crosses over assembly boundaries. In this article, Kaushal Sanghavi looks at what contexts are, how they work, and how they can be used to pass data between different objects. |

| .NET Remoting Explained |
| http://www.pinnaclepublishing.com/ |
| What if you were told that you had to create an application that was to support several thousand concurrent users, 24x7? And the only choice you had was to create a single, monolithic application that ran on one machine! No matter how big a machine you get, it won't be long before you start pulling your hair out. Luckily, you won't have to do that in the .NET platform—thanks to its distributed computing capabilities. Tarak Modi explains in detail. |

| .NET Remoting Interception |
| C#Today |
| With the advent of .NET, Microsoft realized the need for a more flexible approach for building distributed applications. .NET Remoting is the technology that allows remote components to interface and integrate. However, in order for this transparent integration, .NET remoting needs to provide some plumbing wherein it can resolve object references and direct method calls to the specific application hosting the required component, on the specific machine. This concept is based on the principle of Interception. In this article, Kaushal Sangahvi discusses the interception mechanism that is used by remoting, to allow for location transparency of objects. |

| A Portal for My Data |
| MSDN |
| With it comes to retrieving data in an n-tier application. We often design our systems in a way that forces us to figure out a different way to get each type of data, calling a different service, object, or method each time. To get customer data, we call the GetCustomer method of the CustomerService. To get product data, we call the Product method of a WebProduct service. This can get confusing! |

| AppDomains and Assemblies |
| MSDN |
| I've been writing some code recently to deal with AppDomains. AppDomains provide a way to isolate part of an application from another part. In short, it lets you run in two separate environments. In some cases, the two environments may be on different machines and the communication between AppDomains is handled through remoting, and in other cases, they may be in the same process. |
|
| Application Domains Overview |
| MSDN |
| Historically, process boundaries have been used to isolate applications running on the same computer. Each application is loaded into a separate process, which isolates the application from other applications running on the same computer. The applications are isolated because memory addresses are process-relative; a memory pointer passed from one process to another cannot be used in any meaningful way in the target process. In addition, you cannot make direct calls between two processes. Instead, you must use proxies, which provide a level of indirection. |

| Aspect-Oriented Programming Enables Better Code Encapsulation and Reuse |
| MSDN |
| Aspect-oriented Programming (AOP), a paradigm invented at Xerox PARC in the 1990s, lets the developer better separate tasks that should not be inextricably tangled, such as mathematical operations and exception handling. The AOP approach has a number of benefits. First, it improves performance because the operations are more succinct. Second, it allows programmers to spend less time rewriting the same code. Overall, AOP enables better encapsulation of distinct procedures and promotes future interoperation. |

| Creating a Singleton Service with Visual Studio .NET |
| MSDN |
| A common design pattern that I've seen used is the creation of a COM singleton that resides in a service. A service is a long-running executable that does not support a user interface, and which might not run under the logged-on user account. The service can run without any user being logged on to the computer. This makes services ideal for use on a server or whenever you need functionality that does not interfere with other users who are working on the same computer. |

| Distributing Objects in Visual Basic .NET |
| MSDN |
| The challenge we have faced in the past is that it isn't always easy to give a developer an object, especially across the network. Objects in COM are always passed by reference, meaning that the COM object remains in the process and on the machine where it was created. The client code merely gets a reference to the object, so each method call is marshaled across the network, back to the original object to be serviced. With Microsoft .NET, we have the option of passing our objects either by reference like COM, or by value. When an object is passed by value, we not only get a copy of the data, but we get an actual instance of the object on our client workstation. The object itself physically moves from the server machine to our client machine, meaning that our client application not only has the data we need, but we have the business logic relating to that data as well. |
