Need some perspective

[web1110]

Hi y'all,

I am playing with some initial ideas for a system. What I want to do is
maintain classes on a central server and instantiate them as needed on
client machines. Essentially, changing a class and loading it on a server
will automatically distribute to clients when instantiated. I want the
classes to run on the client by value, not by reference. I've been reading
about how to do this using remoting etc. and my head is spinning.

I would appreciate some discussion on achieving this approach just to try to
clear the cobwebs that have been forming.

I appreciate any help you folk can provide.

Thanx,
Bill

Remoting:
* basically, instantiate an object that's running on a server
* server and client both need to have access to the object (preferably via
DLL)
* client instantiates it using a string for both the type and the actual URL
of the object, after having called RegisterWellKnownClientType (and the
server has called RegisterWellKnownServiceType)
* easier to do it through code than messing about with config file
* no point trying to get it to use value types, it probably won't and
classes can do just as good
* the remote object runs on the server
