Pragati,

This is a question that has been answered several times in several places.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=.net+remoting+vs.+dcom+vs.+web+services

You will find many answers.

Top 3 differences:
1. Web Services are an open technology-agnostic standard. Remoting is .NET
specific. DCOM is Windows DNA specific.
2. Load balancing DCOM components is relatively more complex than load
balancing Web Services
3. Web Services work through HTTP - so it is easier to traverse firewalls
compared to Remoting or DCOM.
