The 'add web reference' wizard works in this case when the objects do not contain complex data types. I have tested with success this approach, my understanding is that it is simply a remoted object using a SOAP formatter, which is essentially what a web service is, RMI calls returning SOAP. For what I wish to achieve I could write a web service and use remoting within it, but I do not wish to enforce that the computer running the application have IIS installed. As for SoapSuds.exe, I have no idea what that is so ill do some reading :)
Oh, on a side note. I am not using wsdl.exe to generate the wsdl. The wsdl is found in client projects WebReferences sub folder. I assumed the remoted object is returning the wsdl when I specify the wsdl query string attribute on the link below. http://<your_ip_address>:1234/GreetingManager.soap?wsdl thanks simon -----Original Message----- From: Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.

The VS.NET 'add web reference' wizard only works with XML web services, not remoting. Remoting can handle everything you're trying, and the CLR-based serialization that's involved certainly pays attention to your use of the NonSerialized attribute. But the WSDL that's returned for a remoted object is different than the WSDL that's returned for an XML web service. The VS.NET add web reference wizard (and underlying wsdl.exe proxy generator) are simply not designed for use with remoting. Remoting's proxy generated is called soapsuds.exe, and there is no integrated wizard in VS.NET that supports it. You have to build/distributed your own assemblies (for example, assemblies with interfaces or other shared types in them), or use soapsuds.exe from the command line to generate client-side shims in the same manner as wsdl.exe is used for XML web services. -Mike DevelopMentor http://staff.develop.com/woodring > > -----Original Message----- > From: Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics. > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Simon Jenkins > Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 6:34 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > I am trying to remote and object over http channel using the SOAP > formatter so that I can add a web reference to my remoted object > allowing me to reference it from the compact framework.
