Can Remoting be used to deploy VB.Net applications?

I am under the impression that .net remoting can be used to deploy
"real" applications over the net. Some sort of vb.net executable with
forms for entering data and reports and the whole nine yards on the
client machines, and with the data and processing occurring on a
server somewhere else. Is this true? Reading the MS literature about
remoting is a total jargon-fest. In this newsgroup it mostly technical
details; and I've not found much else to read that provides examples
of real world deployment scenarios.

I'm looking for alternates to a terminal services type setup. I'd just
like to know what the options are.

Thanks

Hi,

You can do this using remoting or web services.

Web services as general are stateless, and are only based on a
request/response, I.e. client makes a request and gets the results.

Remoting can be statefull, and there you can use callbacks/events from
the server to the client.

For a detailed description of both technologies and their pros and cons,
you can take a look here:

Yes, that is a good article. But, the code examples don't seem to work,
even with the zip file supplied. I'm not at all used to .net and esp. c#
so it's hard to see what the issue is, but it seems to have something to
do with the config "file" (it's xml) involved in this
RemoteClassLibServer line:

RemotingConfiguration.Configure("RemoteClassLibServer.exe.config");

What do I do with the xml that is spec'd in the article but not included
in the zip file? I've tried several things but nothing works so far.

It is included in the zip file. you can find it in bin\Debug
