I don't believe this example actually works. If you don't send a copy of the RemotingObjects.dll with the client executable it won't run. This defeats the entire purpose of having remote procedures ie you still have to have the correct dll installed on the client side for it to work.

Brett, you are correct in that the RemotingObjects.dll file is needed by the client. This is because the client needs the definitions of all the classes exposed by the server application. In this example however, all of the code IS executed on correct PCs. If you do want to totally separate the server-side code from the client, you would need to create a dll containing only interfaces, which are then implemented inside the server executable. In this way, the server can be updated without affecting the clients (but there are disadvantages). The book 'Advanced .NET Remoting' by Ingo Rammer is great and deals with all these topics.

When I try and run the project I get an error that says (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

What up with this code?
When I click on the run button I get an error "A project with an output type of class library cannot be started directly." ect
Why are there no instructions on how to get this baby to run? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

You need better instructions for this example to be useful. I couldn't get it to work... an error showing.
I did find a good example here though for anyone that needs something better to go by: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvssamp/html/vb cs_TCPRemoting.asp (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
this is great code!!!!!! you guys, remoting is a very! completelcated process I suggests reading there articals on it first(there long)so you know the vocab then look this code again. Thanks very muchyou gave me many hints for ClientActive stuff. thanks again!!! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
you need to modifiy the solutions properties for mulit starting projects. turn the library off and the server and client on to start that should fix your problem. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

I AM 3rd mca so please send any project title and powerful source code to me.
i know your .net so choose .net to help as well as providing the project.I hope you. thank you.

Works great once the projects properties are set to Multiple startup projects and the action for the Client and Server are set to start, leave RemotingObjects action set to None. **** (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
