microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.remoting

This question seems to be getting asked a lot recently. The easiest way to
do this is as follows:

1) In your Form1 class, create a static instance of your Form1 form.
2) Replace the "new Form1()" call in the Application.Run() to use the static
instance.
3) From your remoted object, simply access the class through the static
variable.

Here's an example:

// Code for your main Windows form
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms
{
public static readonly Form1 MainForm = new Form1();

public static void Main()
{
Application.Run(MainForm);
}

public void SetName(string name)
{
if (this.InvokeRequired)
this.Invoke(new somedelegate(SetName), new object[] { name });
else
this.txtClientName.Text = name;
}
}

// In your server object, just invoke the main form, e.g.
public void namereg(string name)
{
Form1.MainForm.SetName(name);
}

Hope that helps -
