Hi Paul
 
As I discussed with somebody on this list, you can check out the Fluorine project for Flash Remoting (C#).
Now the library itself is written to be a projector extender (using Flash Remoting for communication), but it can be adapted with an ASP.NET Http module (I guess) to become a flash remoting gateway for .NET
 
However I'm not sure if it would be accepted by MM to compete with their gateway for .NET

Subject: [osflash] Remoting for .NET - proposal and request for advice

Well, I've looked around and haven't found one of these, but it would be helpful for me, so I'm proposing a new OS Flash project: An open-source Flash Remoting gateway for .NET

Since the kind folks who built AMFPHP have already done so much of the work, I was thinking of using that implementation as the jumping-off point, in particular for the deserialization/serialization, but also for the architecture unless I can find reasons not to.

Any thoughts? I'm sure there are several people on this list with plenty of AMFPHP experience. I don't know if Patrick Mineault is on this list, but if you are (or others who have been involved in designing/building AMFPHP) then I would greatly appreciate your insights.  For my part I have used AMFPHP somewhat (I have php on my personal site; .NET at work) and have dug into the source code quite a bit in anticipation of this project.

Here are some questions I have, that I would love to get feedback on:

- What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of the AMFPHP architecture? If you could design that system from scratch today, would you use the same architecture or a different one?

- Anyone else attempted to build an AMF gateway? What lessons did you learn? Should I turn back now while I'm ahead? =)

- Is anyone else interested in having (or helping build or test) an OS Flash Remoting gateway for .NET?

Obviously there will be some necessary changes due to differences in PHP and C#/.NET, and I already have some thoughts about some changes based on specific things that are available in .NET that (I assume) aren't available in PHP. But having never designed an AMF gateway before, I'd appreciate thoughts from any of you who have done so, or at least spent some time thinking about it.

Thanks for your feedback!

Paul Robertson
