.NET Remoting vs. ASP.NET Web Services

Introduction: ASP.NET Web services and .NET Remoting provide a full suite of design options for cross-process communication in distributed applications. In general, ASP.NET Web services provide the highest levels of interoperability with full support for WSDL and SOAP over HTTP, while .NET Remoting is designed for common language runtime type-system fidelity and supports additional data format and communication channels. ASP.NET Web Services: ASP.NET provides a Microsoft® IIS-hosted infrastructure that supports industry standards such as SOAP, XML, and WSDL. Although.NET Remoting supports IIS hosting and SOAP over HTTP, ASP.NET is designed to provide the highest level of SOAP interoperability including support for SOAP Section 5 and document/literal. ASP.NET can leverage the features available with IIS, such as security and logging. IIS hosting is also robust in that it will re-spawn Aspnet_wp.exe if it terminates. Also, ASP.NET Web services are much easier to create and consume than s...

.NET Remoting

.NET remoting enables you to build widely distributed applications easily, whether application components are all on one computer or spread out across the entire world. You can build client applications that use objects in other processes on the same computer or on any other computer that is reachable over its network. You can also use .NET remoting to communicate with other application domains in the same process. (For details about programming application domains, see Programming with Application Domains.) .NET remoting provides an abstract approach to interprocess communication that separates the remotable object from a specific client or server application domain and from a specific mechanism of communication. As a result, it is flexible and easily customizable. You can replace one communication protocol with another, or one serialization format with another without recompiling the client or the server. In addition, the remoting system assumes no particular application model. You c...
