.NET Remoting is a mechanism for communicating between objects which are not in the same process. It is a generic system for different applications to communicate with one another. .NET objects are exposed to remote processes thus allowing inter process communication. The applications can be located on the same computer different computers on the same network or on computers across separate networks. Microsoft .NET Remoting provides a framework that allows objects to interact with each other across application domains. Remoting was designed in such a way that it hides the most difficult aspects like managing connections marshaling data and reading and writing XML and SOAP. The framework provides a number of services including object activation and object lifetime support as well as communication channels which are responsible for transporting messages to and from remote applications. refer this link http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/Net_Remoting.aspx
