I know that this is probably a gross simplification but IMHO... Web services are for integrating heterogeneous systems (i.e. you control only one end of the pipe).
.NET remoting is for doing RPC style functionality between .NET components. You could certainly use Web services to do the 2nd thing above but your performance would clearly suffer. I saw a demo at Tech Ed 2002 that showed that TCP remoting using binary formatting was several times as fast as HTTP remoting using SOAP formatting. J.

In partcular it loks like this: Web Services: * Limited functionality (no callbacks, object referenced etc.) * Bad performance * Big plus: works through ttp proxies. * Cross platform. Remoting: * .NET only. * full remote object implementation with object pointers, callbacks, events etc. * faster due to less overhead (no soap, binary format).

Mai 2002 16:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] remoting vs. web services Can you tell me the fundamental differences between Remoting and Web Services? Why would you prefer to use one over the other? Is one a sub-set of the other? Thank you.
