Chapter 6. Distributed Computing

In this chapter, we look at how to develop distributed applications under .NET that can communicate within intranets as well as over the Internet. We will see how .NET remoting offers seamless remote activation and remote method calls, among other things. We examine how to develop intranet applications using this support. Over the Internet, Web services have become the building blocks for distributed Web-based applications. We will look at the support offered by ASP.NET to create and deploy Web services. By the end of this chapter, readers will be comfortable developing applications using the common language runtime object-remoting and will be fairly conversant with ASP.NET Web services development.
