Windows communication foundation

[nyhetsgrupper]

Hi,
I am about to start on a new project. It is a server app running as a win32
service. I was thinking about using remoting to create a user interface (web
based) to this service. Now that WCF is released should I use that instead
of .Net remoting? What is the advantages of switching from .net remoting to
wcf in a case like this?

Thank you.

My recomendation is to use WCF, because is a Superset of Remoting, you have
more options, and ways to handle the cominication, security, and much
others, for yours applications, some of this need to be done by hand in
Remoting.

The biggest consideration is target platform. I don't think Microsoft has
any intention of making WCF work on any Windows version earlier than XP. If
you can live with that requirement, absolutely use WCF.
