Summary

.NET remoting offers a relatively simple yet highly flexible way to develop distributed applications. This chapter introduced important remoting concepts that will help you select and use remoting channels. We also described the available remoting channels in the .NET Framework and reviewed their advantages and disadvantages, including security and interoperability, to help you select the best channel to use for remoting communications. We also showed how to develop your own custom remoting channel to allow you to make .NET remoting communicate over any data transmission medium.
