When to use?

[Robert Scheer]

Hi.

When should I use web services over .net remoting? Is there any
article on the web about the main differences between the two
technologies?

Thanks,

Robert Scheer

I'd say: if you need the performance gain of Remoting, you should use
Remoting. On the other hand if you want to be more open, and ultra-high
performance isn't your first need, you should use Webservices. But don't
forget, Webservices are fast too, Remoting is just more faster.

Check out Ingo Rammer's website for a performance comparisation:
