.NET remoting - using code config works / using config does not ( butlistening )

[Piotrekk]

Hi

I have a strange problem. Here is some input data before I describe
the problem.
1. RemoteClass (Mathematica) is compiled into dll and put to GAC
2. Server remoting configuration is done by code.


//used in case of code configuration
TcpChannel channel = new TcpChannel(5000 );
ChannelServices .RegisterChanne l(channel);
RemotingConfigu ration.Register WellKnownServic eType(typeof(Re moteClass.Mathe matica),
"Mathematic a", WellKnownObject Mode.

// used in case of config file
//RemotingConfigu ration.Configur e("RemoteHost.e xe.config",fals e);


As a result client is able to create objects ( singleton ) when
configured both, by code and configuration file.
The problem arises when I am trying to configure server remoting using
config file. The client is unable to create any objects. Client throws
an exception:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.File NotFoundExcepti on'
occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: Could not load file
or assembly 'RemoteClass' or one of its dependencies. The system
cannot find the file specified.

I have managed to observe that when I use config file.
RemotingConfigu ration.GetRegis teredWellKnownS erviceTypes()
[0].ObjectType is null, while using code configuration this property
contains some usefull information.

What I am doing wrong?

Here is the configuration file of the server:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>
<system.runtime .remoting>
<application name="">
<service>
<!--<activated type="RemoteCla ss.Mathematica, RemoteClass"/>--

>

<wellknown mode="Singleton " type="RemoteCla ss.Mathematica,
RemoteClass" objectUri="Math ematica"/>
</service>
<channels>
<channel ref="tcp" port="5000">
<serverProvider s>
<formatter ref="binary" typeFilterLevel ="Full"/>
</serverProviders >
<clientProvider s>
<formatter ref="binary"/>
</clientProviders >
</channel>
</channels>
</application>
</system.runtime. remoting>
</configuration>

Re: .NET remoting - using code config works / using config does not (but listening )

It seems that the error was caused by NOT specifying assembly version
and token in the server configuration file. But why i do not need to
specify this in case of <activated>?
