I would avoid remoting (now obsolete) and also TCP sockets (what Ramalinga suggested). Instead I would recommend that you take a look at WCF which is perfectly suited for this sort of thing.

Good, my 5, but I could give you convincing example where WCF fails (in term of flexibility) compared to remoting, but my usage was very advanced. For basic usage WCF is way better though.
So, better don't call remoting obsolete, focus on WCF benefits.

Thanks Kryukov.

Whether you use remoting or not, it's obsolete in the sense Microsoft will no longer update it or support it officially in future OSes. It's kind of like VB6 and ATL server, or say WTL. People still use those althogh they are now officially obsolete!

That's the point: officially obsolete gets appropriate Attribute, it cause compiler warning. And remoting is not as close to be obsolete as what you listed.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kwdt6w2k(v=VS.100).aspx

From that article: "This topic is specific to a legacy technology that is retained for backward compatibility with existing applications and is not recommended for new development. Distributed applications should now be developed using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)."
