On the road to Indigo - Is .NET Remoting Dead?

Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

.NET Remoting as we know it in the current .NET frameworks is NOT going away. It is NOT going to be removed from the .NET frameworks when Indigo ships. There are NO plans to remove it from the .NET frameworks. .NET Remoting will be here for some time to come!

So where does the confusion arise from?
The simple statement “.NET Remoting will be depricated once Indigo is released“

What we mean by this statement is that when Indigo is released, the semantics of object remoting will be supported through the Indigo infrastructure rather than the current .NET Remoting infrastructure. This will help overcome a number of the limitations that .NET Remoting currently suffers (such as having to share assemblies with callers), whilst extending the many benefits of Indigo to developers requiring Remote object semantics.
