.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / January 2008Remoting and DataTypes
I'm dealing with remoting for the first time (.net 2.0). I can succesfully call methods that return basic data types (string, bool, etc) but I can't pass more complicated data types (System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry is specifically what I want to have returned). Am I just out of luck or is there something I can do to return that data type? It's been a while since I have used remoting, but, I believe the classes used in the call need to be serialized. DirectoryEntry does not implement ISerializable, so it therefore fails. I did send some pretty complex classes so complexity is not the problem. I'm not sure I would see a reason to send local directory entries via remoting. Perhaps you should create a utility class that carries the necessary information from the DirectoryEntry class. > I'm dealing with remoting for the first time (.net 2.0).

While remoting, the data passed is serialized into a bytestream and then passed. As a result every datatype that you want to pass should be serializable . Since Directory entry is not serializble you need to create a custom class with necessary information and then pass it
