Remoting Question

[Robert Halstead]

I'm build a server to my application and I'm using remoting to pass objects
back to the client. I was wondering if there was some way to keep track of
those objects on the server side? Also, is there some way to create an
object on the server and have the client be able to get that object without
creating a new instance?
Is it also possible to just call function names on the server? Would you
need to pass delegates or something?
If so, how?

thanks.

Perhaps you can pool objects in an Application object and pass them around
through serialization.

You also try creating a thread pool and manage object acquisition through
COM+.

Or if you are using the SOAP Format you could have a windows service "intercept"
and copy requests and responses and deserialize them into object instances
on the server.

I have two articles and codes "Remote object 1, 2" on http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Networking.asp.
It have window client/server with callback function. It may help.

Yes, use .NET Web Services.

Although SOAP implies OOP, (Simple Object Access Protocol) WSDL, does not
define a way to maintain object state. Think of a WSDL function as taking
one argument and returning one value. The input argument and return values
are referred to as the "input message" and "output message". Since the data
type of both the "input message" and the "output message" is XML, and XML
can define hierarchical structures, Web Services can pass objects. So with
Web Services you are calling functions and passing Objects as args, but not
maintaining state. In other words, Web Services are "static" methods or "function
libraries"
Hope this helps,
