Hello,

Am trying to understand how to implement remoting for a simple WinForm app based on Adapter V2.5 and VB.

Is there a simple remoting example anywhere (eg. how to create a Remoting Interface, etc). Can anyone help?

Thanks

Have you checked our winforms remoting example on our website ?

Going there now!

The example is in C# but it should be straight forward

Great, got it running. Now just a couple of quick questions please to orientate me.

1. I presume that the Interfaces assembly is deployed with the client?

2. Your Service class seems to be the equivalent of my BL Manager classes with its Fetches, Saves & Deletes.

3. Is it deployed Client side or Server side?

4. Is there any significance to it being in a namespace called RemotingService - whats in a name 3. Finally on the Server: DbSpecific, DbGeneric, ORMSupport ?

I know these are basic questions, but for me remoting is new and the fog is lifting.

Thanks

1. I presume that the Interfaces assembly is deployed with the client?

Yes, should be available at the client side.

1. Your Service class seems to be the equivalent of my BL Manager classes with its Fetches, Saves & Deletes.

Exactly.

Is it deployed Client side or Server side?

The Service should be on the Server side.

Is there any significance to it being in a namespace called RemotingService - whats in a name

No problem.

1. Finally on the Server: DbSpecific, DbGeneric, ORMSupport ?

Yes.

The remoting example contains 2 solutions, one is called the Service and the other is called the client. What's in the service stays in the Server side (All projects and references). And what's in the Client need to be in the client side (All projects and references).

The client needs the Interface to define the Service methods. Also the client needs references to the DBGeneric and the ORMSupport to be able to deal with LLBLGen objects.

Hi,

As well as making 'ServicesInterface' & 'RemotingInterface' conform to my own application, is the Remoting example a good basis for my own use or is it too simplistic?

i.e. Are there other things I need to add, like: Moving channel registration into a config file and accessing it via RemotingConfiguration.Configure etc ..

Thanks

It's a simple example but it can also be the ground of a good solution. So use it and only change what you need to change.
