You might want to check out this remoting Chat example for an example of
using events:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en...

It also sounds like you might want to look at Client Activated Objects (CAO)
when you say you want each client treated individually. Check out this link
as a start:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconclientactivation.asp?...

and this article might help understand CAOs further:

Implementing Broker with .NET Remoting Using Client-Activated Objects
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpatterns/html/ImpBroker...

Good luck.

Thanks,

Sam
