Good Remoting Book?

[Monty]

Can anyone recommend a recent/good book on remoting? I saw Advanced .NET
Remoting, Second Edition
(http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-NET-Remoting-Second-Rammer/dp/1590594177),
but a reviewer said it was two sections on .Net 1.1 and a third section on
the "future tools" in VS2005. Any recommendations? TIA.

Ingo Rammer's "Advanced .NET Remoting" is pretty much the authority on
Remoting. In my opinion, you won't find a better reference.

However, if you're just starting a project, you may want to consider using
WCF instead. WCF is designed to replace Remoting's proprietary technology
with something that can interoperate with non-.NET applications. In virtually
all cases, WCF will be faster than Remoting and yet it offers more flexible
options for security and communications transports.

Unfortunately, I haven't found the WCF equivalent to Rammer's Remoting book.
