Summary

Remoting is a complimentary technology to Web Services that allows far greater extensibility and integration. It leverages the capabilities of the .NET Platform in distributed application scenarios in which both client and server run in this environment. Advanced .NET Remoting in VB .NET is the first book that really offers in-depth coverage of the .NET Remoting Framework in Visual Basic .NET. Targets two different audiences with the internal separation in two parts: the "use-it" developers and the "understand-and-extend-it" developers.
