Hi All! I would like your thoughts and suggestions on the following scenario. I need a distributed appication evironment to save the IIS server from working itsself to death! The basics is this: I want a webpage/ application/ service to start a application sitting on a diffrent machine on the intranet, then communicate with this application for the duration of the process. Applications on the machines are added on the fly, so the calling application or web page cannot be re-compiled. It seems Remoting won't work for me as the calling application has to be re-compiled when the target assembly changes, or a new one is added. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
