We have been using GenuineChannels in our product for the last 4 years. GenuineChannels now appears to have become unsupported and the main developer guy Dmitri has I think joined Microsoft. I have the source as part of the product but not the networking / .net knowledge to support it.
Has anyone found a good alternative to GenuineChannels for good .net remoting? I need our software product to run on top of some supported software!
There is a product called DotNetRemoting that claims to be an easy replacement for GenuineChannels. They even have a section of their forum dedicated to converting from GenuineChannles to DNR.
WCF, Windows Communication Foundation is the approach you should look into. WCF integrates web services, .net remoting, distributed transactions and message queuing into a common communications model.
Getting started with WCF is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734712.aspx
The tutorial is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734712.aspx
Oreilly has a book about WCF: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596526993/
WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) is the way to go - much more scalable, easily swappable to other technologies (if you need in the future), and builtin to .NET 3.0.
A lot of other nice stuff there, too... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa663324.aspx
