Presentation on ".NET Remoting Essentials" by Thom Robbins Microsoft .NET Remoting is the .NET technology that allows you to easily and quickly build distributed applications. All of the application components can be on one computer or they can be on multiple computers around the world. .NET Remoting allows client applications to use objects in other processes on the same computer or on any other computer to which it can connect over its network. During this presentation we will discuss what you will need to know to get started with .NET Remoting. We will talk about how .NET Remoting compares with DCOM, how to host remoted objects in a variety of applications, how to call remoted objects from a client application, how to control the life time of remoted objects, and how to secure remoting applications. Thom Robbins is a Senior Technology Specialist with Microsoft. He is a frequent contributor to various magazines that include .NET, Visual Studio.NET and the XML Web Services Journal. Thom is also a frequent speaker at a variety of events that include VS Live and others. When not writing code and helping customers he spends his time with his wife at their home in New Hampshire.
