.NET Remote Client Object Sample Code: Server-activated Client

This sample is dependent on the successful implementation of a server-activated remote object. The sample consists of a simple console application that demonstrates how to execute a task via a server-activated remote object hosted in a custom application. Whenever a Web service or a remote object is generated, a configuration file is also created. Below is a sample of a custom host application using a server-activated remote object and a sample configuration file.

using System;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;

namespace CSharpClient
{
  /// <summary>
  /// A simple console application that demonstrates how to host a
  /// server-activated remote object.  This application listens for
  /// client requests on TCP port 8989.
  /// </summary>
  class Class1
  {
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      try
      {
        //Configure RemoteTestFactory as a server-activated object
        RemotingConfiguration.Configure("RemoteTestServer.config");

        //Wait for remote client requests
        Console.WriteLine("Listening for requests. Press Enter to exit...");
        Console.ReadLine();

      }
      catch (Exception xx)
      {
        Console.WriteLine(xx);
      }
      
    }
  }
}

Sample Configuration File: RemoteTestServer.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.runtime.remoting>
<application>        
<service>
<!-- Configuration for a server-activated RemoteTestFactory singleton-->
<wellknown mode="Singleton" type="AMNUtask.RemoteTestFactory, AMNUtask" objectUri="AMNUtask"/>
</service>
<channels>
<channel port="8989" ref="tcp">
<serverProviders>
<formatter ref="binary"/>
</serverProviders>
</channel>
</channels>
</application>
</system.runtime.remoting>
</configuration>
