Re: Passing MarshalByRef object to Remoted Server

Hi sbparsons

If I understand you, what you are trying to do it get the client to use IPC to talk to the server, which is using TCP?
If so, then no. You can't do that.

If you want your client to talk to different end points, using different channels, then that is possible.
Also, you can use WCF (part of .NET 3.0) to have your server listen on different channels.
i.e. The client talks to the server using TCP, but the GUI talks to the server using IPC.

Right - I found the problem so please disregard the original post.

I had an IPC channel configured in the Client config file and as soon as I
commented that out my object was available on the server.

I wonder if it's then possible to mix IPC with TCP in this scenario - I was
planning on using IPC between the client and a GUI but it looks as though TCP
will have to stick.

Please could someone let me know if this is possible:

I have a server object exposed through remoting on one PC and a client
object that gets a proxy to this server object.

The client object configures and registers a channel as per:

System.Collections.IDictionary properties;
properties = new System.Collections.Hashtable();
properties["name"] = "client";
properties["priority"] = "1";
properties["port"] = 0;
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(new TcpChannel(properties,
null, null), false);

Once a connection has been made, the client calls the following on the
server proxy:
_remoteMaster.ConnectToLibrary((IClient)this)

The IClient interface exists on both machines.

During debugging I can step through to the above line and into it - and then
on the remote server, I can step through the ConnectToLibrary function and
all is well until...

As soon as I attempt to reference a property on the IClient object I get the
following error:
"Failed to connect to an IPC Port: The system cannot find the file specified."

The strange thing is the IPC reference, as I am using TCP.
Though this scenario did work while I had both master and client on the same
machine (though not referencing each other).

I hope that this scenario is clear. Looking forward to a bit of help on this
one.
