Hi,

When .NET Remoting is implemented using the HTTP Channel and the SOAP
Formatter, is the .NET Framework required on the client and the server? In
other words, can a .NET Remoting client running Windows XP communicate with
a non-Windows server that is not running the .NET Framework?

I've done .NET Remoting using the TCP Channel and the Binary Formatter and
I'm pretty sure that the .NET Framwork is required on both sides of the
communication channel. Just to confirm, am I correct?

Thanks...Ron Lemire

I am pretty sure that both must have .NET installed when
working with remoting. Web Services does not have this
limitation.

As far as I understand and read in ".NET for Programmers" book, you
can easiely have a SOAP client, (running on non-.NET platform), which
communicates with .NET Remoting server via HTTP channel.

I think this scenario won't work for binary channels.
