Re: Bidirectional Remoting Chat Application

Thank you for the reply.

I would need bidirectional message passing because whenever any chat client
sends any message i have to send it to the one or many other clients.

Does web service have feature like callback to client?

Main problem arise when the client is behind some router/firewall/NAT.

Thank You

Hello Vishal,

I am creating a remoting chat server and client application with
bidirectional message passing.

Is .NET remoting with Binary Formatting a advisable platform to create
chat server application?

Well... I guess it's advisable in the way that it can certainly work, but
it would seem to me that some more interoperable standard like XML
WebServices could serve you better for the purpose you describe, as it
could easily be used from arbitrary clients as opposed to only those that
you write yourself.

If yes do i need to buy the commercial bidirection channel(Genuin
Channels) or i can use any open source available like TCPEx?

I wouldn't necessarily think you'd need any bidirectional channel at all.
If you're going to use one, make sure it works, that's all - I've used
GenuineChannels myself in the past and I know that it's a great product.
I'm not familiar with TCPEx, but I'd use it any time as soon as the tests
I'd obviously perform first (and myself!) say it fulfils my requirements.
