In the meantime I've had the chance to do some scientific-style .NET Remoting vs. ASP.NET performance tests. I'll upload the results (and the complete test scenario so that you can reproduce them) later today or tomorrow. The short story: I'm still proud Read More

Not many news today: I'm still working on my book (currently reviewing pages from the compositor). I mistakenly believed that I've already finished working on it about a week ago. Well, I stand corrected - doing the final review is quite some work as Read More

I guess the most interesting .NET Remoting threads come up on [DOTNET] whenever I don't follow it as closely as I normally do. [still writing on the last chapter]. Thanks to one reader who forwarded a reference to this thread to my private email Read More

I just sent the last chapter of "Advanced .NET Remoting" to my reviewer. yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeesss it's done!

I have two good news regarding my book today: first and foremost, it's nearly finished. I just send the last but one chapter to my reviewer and will start to work on the very last chapter in some minutes. This also means [second news ;-)] that I can now Read More

Well, I don't know if it's been me, but it looks like Dave saw yesterday's weblog entry : "I also hate cat pictures". Frankly ... I don't really care ;-) Read More

For all of you who want to know what WSDL is about, Sam published A Busy Developer's Guide to WSDL 1.1. Even though he focuses on the integration with Radio, this is a good read for anyone who wants to get a hold on this abbreviation without reading Read More

I just came across the site http://www.cetus-links.org/ which sports "18.348 links on objects and components". Don't know yet how great it really is ... I just know that http://www.dotnetremoting.cc is in ;-) Read More

Dave recommends to "[...] check out the Linux Advocacy Mini-HowTo. Everyone who is promoting a cause can learn from this excellent HowTo". I agree, especially with the last point: "Finally, keep in mind that we all have infinitely more important issues Read More

Well ... I'm back from my current three day trip out of town.
You know what's worst with having no email access during > 50 hours? Coming back and having to read through hundreds of them ;-).
Guess it will take some more hours until I'll be able to Read More

As some of you know, I've been offline (a.k.a "out-of-town) for the last three days. Now I found an excellent statement from Dave: "A note of congratulations to Microsoft and best wishes for a successful launch of Visual Studio .NET, tomorrow. We look Read More

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be out of town for the next three days. I might have some email access but unfortunately I'm not yet posting with Radio and CityDesk does not accept weblog posts by email ;-).

Yesterday, Simon Fell did the only reasonable thing. While everyone else (at least Dave, Sam, John and me) were trying to convince each other that WSDL is either great (John, Sam & me) or is absolutely unnecessary (mostly Dave ;-)), Read More

Simon, the reason why I'm a WSDL FM fan is simple:
I guess that SOAP & web services in general will only really take off as soon as they are absolutely easy to use. For me, Radio together with WSDL FM was easy to use.
Let's recap the steps necessary Read More

Recently, Don Box posted an article on MSDN on scripting languages providing web services. It's summarized as "A personal appeal to the Web services community to make type-safety a priority by writing WSDL for script-based Web services.".

Dave replied to my earlier post: "No longer are we the unwashed masses yearning to be taught the true path to enlightenment by the C developers now they're pleading with us to help them work around limits in their crippled environments. Heh.".

Fellow google conspiracy theorist John Lam posted a new "undocumented C#" article on the use of the CLR varargs calling convention. His point: It's possible but SLOOOOOW. I guess I'll stay with the five times faster param object[]

Patrick Logan asked on ASP.NET web services vs. .NET Remoting: I wonder why Microsoft has established this dichotomy?
.NET Remoting simply supports some proprietary "object oriented" extensions. You can for example return "object references" from Read More

I recently checked the Web for any reliable and reproducable performance numbers of .NET Remoting's various channels compared to ASP.NET web services.
