To call a remote object we need to host the type on a remote machine using a hosting application ( May be a Console,Win or Windows services). This server may host the type library on a particular channel and port number and on the same scenario the client also able to connect. This works fine.

I do not want to rely on .Net hosting mechanism instead I want to host the library on MTS (inorder to get all MTS services viz., Object Pooling,Transaction Management etc.,) and want to call or instantiate remotely from another machine. I tried this and successfully my .Net dll was deployed in MTS using Enterprise Services namespace. In Visual Basic we have done remoting using MTS and through CreateObject("Type Name","Machine Name") function call we instantiated a remote object.

My Question :
1. How shall I call or instantiate a dll which is deployed in the MTS on another machine.
2. What substitutes Visual Basic's CreateObject("") function.

Please share your experience with this scenario.

With anticipation.
