Chapter 4

SOAP and Message Flows

By now, you should be well on your way to understanding how to use .NET Remoting to develop distributed applications. To further your understanding, this chapter will look at the actual messages exchanged among the objects within the JobClient and JobServer applications. Examining these messages will give you insight into the kind of information that .NET Remoting exchanges among distributed objects. However, before we look at these messages, we need to briefly discuss SOAP. If you re already familiar with SOAP, feel free to skip ahead to the Message Flows section of the chapter.
