In general, it doesn't matter if the methods are housed in a DLL or an EXE.
In case of cross-appdomain remoting, it makes no difference. In case of cross-process remoting, you need a OS process that can a) publish the classes to be remoted and b) take incoming requests from the client. You can write a generic four-line EXE-based host to do this. Of course, if the classes to be remoted are already housed in an EXE-based assembly, then you can expose the classes directly from this EXE without requiring a separate host. Hope this helps.

What I mean is, do you have to put the methods you want to invoke across processes and/or AppDomains in a .dll assembly? Is it possible to invoke methods remotely that dwell in and EXE assembly? Ingo's book describes very well how to do this stuff, but not what I am describing above. Thanks for the info. Richard A.

Is this within a single process? (If not, what exactly do you mean by "across AppDomains"?) To be honest I suspect the reason you've not had an answer is that it's not clear which part is causing you a problem. I can't actually tell why the "Your First Remoting Application" example on page 14 on Ingo Rammer's book doesn't answer your question. It shows you how to invoke methods across process boundaries. -- Ian Griffiths DevelopMentor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hein, Richard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I am forwarding this message to the Advanced list because I didn't get an answer in DOTNET-CLR. This is either a stupid question one not too many people know the answer to. "Advanced .NET Remoting" by Ingo Rammer seems to imply (but there are no examples doing this with an EXE that I saw) that you can do this by using SoapSuds to extract the metadata and creating a separate .dll as an interface from that metadata. Am I way off base here? -----Original Message----- From: Hein, Richard If I have an executable running that exposes methods that I want to invoke from another with Remoting across AppDomains, what would be the best way to go about it?
