Window Service not able to call remoting object

Question

Hi All I have created a simple remoting server inside a Window Service as : TcpChannel tcpChannel = new TcpChannel(8085); ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(tcpChanneltrue); WellKnownServiceTypeEntry entry = new WellKnownServiceTypeEntry(RemotingWindowSrvc RemotingWindowSrvc.MailFormat MailFormat WellKnownObjectMode.SingleCall); RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(entry); Then we try and make call to this server in my client as: private void GetRemoteObject() { TcpChannel chan = new TcpChannel(); ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(chan); MailFormat obj = (MailFormat)Activator.GetObject(typeof(MailFormat) tcp://localhost:8085/MailFormat); obj.sendUserRegistration(...); } } MailFormat: is the name of the Class being called here. But upon calling obj.sendUserRegistration(...); client hangs indefinitely. please help me with this. Thanks Puneet

Hi I have been able to solve this problem. posting it so that it can be of help to other people like me... or if I can get some better suggestion on solving this problem. It was hanging cause it wasn't able to resolve the function name. But once I signed the assembly and deployed it in GAC it was able to recognize it and call the function. I am putting the code for your reference(dummy code in VB.NET later converted to C#): Dim ch As TcpChannel = New TcpChannel(8085) ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(ch) RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType( _ GetType(TrialClassLib.MailFormat) myRemoteObject WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton)
