Hi all,

Is this possible to display a windows form from a remotable object?
I need to create a singlecall server application that gives access to an instance of MapPoint ActiveX control to its clients. And I also would like to display a form from the remotable object containing the ActiveX, so I can see the actual maps being retrieved by the remote clients (for debugging purposes).

In a sense I need to create an Automation-enabled app, so that I can interact with it programmatically or via user interface at the same time. Is this possible with .NET remoting?

Thank you for your input.

Alex

If you're trying to get your server to show a window on the client with an
ActiveX control in it (and the ActiveX control lives only on the server),
that's not going to happen. Remoting is not a means for transparently
running a UI on a seperate computer (like X Windows is for UNIX). Instead,
you would have to pass from the server to the client sufficient info for the
client to render the map itself (which would require the client have the
ActiveX control installed).
