Advanced .NET Remoting in VB .NET is the first book that really offers in-depth coverage of the .NET Remoting Framework in Visual Basic .NET. The first part of the book covers everything a developer needs to know to use to the Framework and its capabilities in real world applications, including the basics of Server Activated Objects vs. Client Activated Objects, formatters, channels, lifetime issues, security, configuration files, etc. The server side hosting of remoteable components in console applications, Windows Services, and IIS (Internet Information Services) are also covered in detail. The second part presents .NET Remoting internals in an unprecedented way. Ingo Rammer shows how the Framework really uses message sinks and sink providers, and gives in-depth advice on why and how to implement message and channel sinks. These chapters also give detailed insight in the synchronous and asynchronous message processing within the Framework. Rammer also includes a chapter which presents the development process and source code for several real world message sinks and finally covers ContextBoundObject, which allows one to use the techniques of the .N ET Remoting Framework with local, client-only applications.
