.NET Remoting :: Requested Service Not Found

**Airslash** · Mar 2 '10, 10:08 AM

Hello,

I'm making a Windows Service that runs in the background and handles the .NET Remoting part on the server. This is the code currently available for my service when it starts.

Code:

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            // Write in the EventLog of Windows that the remote service for BigBrother is starting.
            EventLog.WriteEntry("BigBrother Remote Service -- Starting up the Service.");

            // Create a new TCP channel for our service to listen on.
            TcpChannel channel = new TcpChannel(3000);
            EventLog.WriteEntry("BigBrother Remote Service -- Channel created on port 3000");

            // Register the channel so clients can remote access it.
            ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel, true);
            EventLog.WriteEntry("BigBrother Remore Service -- Channel registered.");

            // Register our RemoteManager class so clients can talk to it and perform
            // tasks.
            try
            {
                WellKnownServiceTypeEntry srvcEntry = new WellKnownServiceTypeEntry(typeof(RemoteManager), "tcp://localhost:3000/BigBrotherRemoteService", WellKnownObjectMode.SingleCall);
                RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(srvcEntry);
                EventLog.WriteEntry("BigBrother Remote Service -- Listener successfully registered.");
            }
            catch (Exception Ex)
            {
                EventLog.WriteEntry("BigBrother Remote Service -- Failed to register the Listener :: " + Ex.ToString());
            }
        }

This is the code of the object beeing made avaialble for remoting:

Code:

public class RemoteManager : MarshalByRefObject
    {
        public RemoteManager()
        { }

        public String Test()
        {
            return "Remote Manager greets you.";
        }
    }

and this is the code that I'm using in the client application to connect to the service and try to execute the Test() method.

Code:

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create a channel for communicating with the remote object.
            TcpChannel channel = new TcpChannel();
            ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel, true);

            // Create an instance of the remote object.
            BigBrother_Remote_Library.RemoteManager manager = (BigBrother_Remote_Library.RemoteManager)Activator.GetObject(typeof(BigBrother_Remote_Library.RemoteManager), "tcp://localhost:3000/BigBrotherRemoteService");

            // Use the object.
            if (manager.Equals(null))
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine("Failed to retrieve the remote object.");
            }
            else
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine("Calling the Test function on our object.");
                System.Console.WriteLine(manager.Test());
            }

            System.Console.ReadLine();
        }

the code of the object in question is located inside a DLL file and has been referenced from the other projects. The code compiles but when I execute the client I recieve : The Requested Service cannot be found.

What am I doing wrong/forgetting?
