Well, when i worked on the .NET Remoting FoE book, i was so in love with how it was all going and how well it worked with .NET pages (which was also still in beta at the time). Then MM Remoting officially got released and i couldn't afford it so i gave up on Remoting all together. :-(

Many years later, (last month?) i saw the Fluorine announcement, downloaded it, and have been playing with it for the past couple of weeks. Fantastic stuff. (Note that at the time FlashORB was released, i didn't have time to dig into it, so i can't say how that is going).

I've been working exclusively with porting existing "classic" ASP into .NET assemblies and replacing my in-Flash XML load calls with remoting calls. Working great so far, though it took a few days just to get back into the swing of how things work. In order to keep most of my Flash code working as-is, i'm returning everything from .NET as XML strings instead of any native objects. I'm also calling VB6 dlls via .NET Interop services, so it's getting pretty fun in code land for me. :-)

Today i tried the Fluorine service browser for the first time; another nice feature that apparently is found in other Remoting tools (AMFPHP?). The AS1/AS2 code generation tool is perfect for my co-worker who has never touched Remoting before, giving him a jump into getting things rolling.

Of course my only hesitation is the future of the product... Not sure how long this one will last (hopefully a long time). But, as long as it works and there are no major memory leaks or anything, the current "beta" seems stable enough for what i'm throwing at it.

fwiw

hey all,

can anyone share some experiences they have had using remoting in an asp.net
environment please?

I'm especially interested in using florine, and I'm intrigued by the class
mapping feature as a nice way to work with an existing .net set of classes
to produce a new front end.

thanks in advance,

tom.
