I want to use socket technology for passing object between different
machines. But I saw that Socket.Send accepts only array of bytes. What can I

I've been at it for some time now tring to get an event to work through
remoting.
I've seen a bunch of posts on this and just can't get it to work.
I'm able to call a method on a remotable object (login()).  In this method

I use remoting to connect 4 clients to one server over lan.

this is critical, how can i boost the remoting service to make it fuster ??
i use singleton, (i will try now singlecall...) without callbacks or ...

marshal the EmployeeManager object can the client access the Employee
and settings objects?

I use a httpchannel and remoting. My client logs on on the server, and
messages can be sent from the server to the client. Everything works fine.
But then I don't do a thing for about 20 minutes. And then I can't send

the caller?

Alright, I know that this might not be a good idea,

I have developed a server that services notification subscription and
delivery through remoting using event and delegate.

I've got one application which use a remoting dll on a server. This dll need
