I am just reposting this because I forgot the cardinal rule... "Change
the Subject to something meaningful..."
 
So I am just resending with the proper subject.

Just a quick comment on this from me (I try to follow Don Box's
exploits
in this world closely). I agree 100%. Remoting should be limited to
interappdomain/process communication. The recommenced path (according
to
Microsoft) is to use ASMX primarily, or if higher performance is
needed
use DCOM I believe. Remoting was reserved for communication between
processes where types can be "guaranteed" to be the same.
 
Also with Indigo they are going toward the "WSE" style of
interoperability. So instead of using a "remoting" style of interop,
they are using the ASMX style of connected systems where the contracts
are shared but not the types. I would recommend in Mono an investment
be
made WSE classes as they would be a precursor to Indigo classes
in Mono. I know it will take some effort creating the channels and
ports
and so on, but I think it would be a step in the right direction.

According to some of the quotes I've read, remoting is in a similar
state as COM.. It is not dead, but it is pretty much done. Most
development will be in the WSE style of coding and connecting.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents on the issue.

Thanks
