... Visual Studio .NET has a bizarre aversion to referencing EXEs.  This
is a pain in the neck sometimes - there is no good reason for this.  The
compilers are perfectly happy to use DLLs.  And you can even hack the
.csproj file to make VS.NET import stuff from a .EXE, it's just that the
UI prevents you from doing it without resorting to such hacks.

This is exactly what caused this question to arise.  I was in a debate
with a co-worker who argued that you couldn't reference an exe,
therefore you could not expose it's methods via remoting.  There didn't
seem to be any logical reason why remotable object were limited to
classes in .dll assemblies.

Thanks a lot to everyone for the information.
