I've just started defining my project using Adapter and version 2.5 of LLBLGen. I want to test and play with the auditing and authentication.

What I want to know going forward is (given other user's experiences) should I go with WCF or Remoting? Note: I'm just the back-end framework designer for this project and we have another person who is doing all the client stuff. All machines are .NET.

Sorry is this was answered on previous posts. If such a thread exists could someone give me the link?

Thanks, -Luke

LLBLGen Pro supports both, so I'd recommend going with the WCF route simple_smile

On the other hand, our remoting code is very very fast, especially when you switch on 'fast serialization'. Remoting can give more flexibility as it allows you to pass predicates and unitofwork objects over the wire.

WCF will force you to design a more different service, i.e. message based, more independent. This can be an advantage too, so it's up to you what you pick.
