Apparently the group microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.remoting no
longer exists, or it is hiding from my listing. In any case, I still
need help with how to approach remoting.
This is my first remoting projct, and the documentation and samples I
have found don't do much to make clear how to approach this structure.
Everything I have found shows only small pieces of the concept, and not
in context.
I have an executable on a server on my lan that has a type library so I
can instantiate an axtivex object on my client that will interact with
the application on the server. However, I don't quite understand how
this is supposed to happen. The examples I find are using either
ftpclient or httpclient to instantiate an object on the local web server.
My client program must be able to have this object instance for an
entire day. I found something about a lifetime contract, but I don't
understand what to do with that. I don't find anything that puts the
pieces in one place - just short clips of individual code.
Could someone please show me an example of how to remotely instantiate
an activex object that is on a lan server? I believe this used to be
referred to as DCOM before the days of dotnet.
I think if I can see a clear example of how this works, then when I move
it to IIS I'll be able to figure out the necessary changes. Unless, of
course, you feel an urge to share that also!
Thank you in advance.
