I have a C# Com+ serviced component running on the server. It is a
cryptography component so it just has a few methods that take a few
paramaters and return a string. I need to know how to have my C# client apps
be able to call this Com+ component on the server. I just don't know where to
start. Should I use Remoting or is there a simplier way to do this? Thanks
for your help.

Yes, there is a simpler way, you can use only DCOM, all you have to do is
register the dll and tlb in your clients, and then your clients can create
one instance on the server and call its methods...

What Daniel says is true, however you can go into the Component Services
snap-in, select your component, then select the export option. THis will
create an .MSI install file, that when run on the client, installs the
"stub" or proxy DLL's setup and ready to connect to your server. All you
need to do is reference these DLL's on the client. The DCOM configuration is
taken care of for you (generally speaking that is, port configuration is
another matter).

Thank you for the help. I found no info on how to do DCOM with .NET and I
already had a windows service running on the server so I just went ahead and
did remoting. It's now fully function but I will save this information for
future needs.
