Webservice vs. Remoting !!

[Stefan Rosi]

Hello everybody,

I want to ask what is the best way to tansfer DataSets (or any object ) in
a local network ? Webservice or remoting ? Or any thing else ?

thanks in advance

Hi Stefan,
if you only want to transfer a DataSet, web services is ok.

If you want more functionality, running object methods on the server,
etc., remoting is better.

Also, webservices are slower, but if you spend more time to fill the
dataset, you will not see the difference.

As a recommendation:
1. for local network - remoting over tcp, or plain sockets will be
fastest
2. for internet/wan, or for interoperability with other OSes -
webservices.

You'd actually be surprised to find out that using webservices via WSE2.0 is
as fast, if not faster than remoting using the Http channel and a binary
formatter. .net remoting using a Soap formatter is slower than both, and
..Net remoting using the TCP channel is faster than everything mentioned thus
far. My point being that web services are at least as fast as remoting over
the Http channel. I was initially surprised to find this out, but if you do
a couple of tests yourself, you'll see. Also, there is a video on the
ASP.NET resource kit which bears this out.
