Hello!

I would like to know, how .NET could replace COM? How is it possible?

Imagine an application, which is a COM server, where a client could get
informations or call functions (e.g. I would like to know the name of the
current opened project in the application). The client has to reference the
current running COM server (in VB you use GetObject). Then I get
informations about the current running application.

How can .NET live up to that expectations?
You can reference certain assemblies, but those assemblies are loaded
explicitely to the process of my application. How can I reference to an
already loaded assembly. Do you need .NET remoting for that demand?
