Product Description This title shows developers how to build Internet-based, distributed applications using Microsoft .NET Remoting, which enables powerful remote interaction among objects. A fundamental understanding of .NET Remoting is crucial as developers shift to developing distributed, Internet-based applications. Until recently, DCOM was the preferred method for developing distributed applications on Microsoft platforms. But as this book demonstrates, the .NET Remoting architecture is much easier to use and extend than DCOM. The book covers all aspects of .NET Remoting, including in-depth coverage of the .NET Remoting architecture plus concrete examples, best practices, and performance tips to show how to extend and customize the framework.

.Net remoting is not very difficult nor confusing but my God does MS .Net remoting make it seem so.
If you want a .Net remoting book that makes sense, get Ingo Rammer's:
Advanced .Net Remoting, second ed.
ISBN: 1-59059-417-7Not for beginners,
May 09, 2005 This book is not for beginners. It is very complicated, contains errors and it is not clear at certain parts. While reading the first two chapters I was very happy about the book. It goes into details about distributed applications using traditional approaches and implementing distributed applications with .NET Remoting. However, in chapter three (which is some 60 pages long) you come across many errors. The code shown is not the same as the code which you download from the Internet. I spent the entire day trying to figure out why the events raised on the server are not handled by the client. It appears that the author forgot to put an attribute on the Events class. My second objection to this book is that too much information is put into chapter 3. Author shows you how to create a .NET Remoting client and server, how to convert a server object into XML Web Services object, then how to mix server activated objects and client activated objects, then how to prevent deploying client application on the same machine as server application by creating event repeater class which does not work. Neither the book code, nor downloaded code nor readers code work. The repeater is never invoked and is never handled by the client. The last but not least is an explanation on using interfaces to prevent publishing library code on the client machine. Due to the fact that you build two clases in the examples (one of them implements interface) it is not true that you don't need to deploy server library because the other class will be useless in the client application and client application would not compile. Those with the knowledge of C# will be able to fix it by defining one more interface for other class and then activate the remote object without the server library. Chapter 4 is an explanation of SOAP and Messages and on those 20 pages half is printed with replies and responses. The other chapters are informative but not so much to deserver any praise.
This book does have some good sides, but the bad sides are incomplete code, too much information per chapter and information like SOAP response and request code which is there really to increase the number of pages. It is definitely not for beginners and you MUST have a thorough knowledge of C# in order to progress further as the entire book is based on sample from chapter 3. If you cannot solve the mysteries in chapter 3 then forget about this book.
I would really like to say more nice things about this book and to suggest it, but I realy cannot. Instead, you might want to have a look and Apress - Advanced .NET Remoting. .NET Remoting-Too complex Period,
