Examples

The following code example shows how to use a HttpServerChannel object to set up a remoting server and its client. The example contains three parts:

A server
A client
A remote object used by the server and the client

The following code example shows a server.

#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Runtime.Remoting.dll>
#using "common.dll"
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Channels;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Channels::Http;

int main()
{
   // Create the server channel.
   HttpServerChannel^ serverChannel = gcnew HttpServerChannel( 9090 );
   
   // Register the server channel.
   ChannelServices::RegisterChannel( serverChannel );
   
   // Display the channel's scheme.
   Console::WriteLine( L"The channel scheme is {0}.", serverChannel->ChannelScheme );
   
   // Display the channel's URI.
   Console::WriteLine( L"The channel URI is {0}.", serverChannel->GetChannelUri() );
   
   // Expose an object for remote calls.
   RemotingConfiguration::RegisterWellKnownServiceType(
      RemoteObject::typeid, L"RemoteObject.rem", WellKnownObjectMode::Singleton );
   
   // Get the channel's sink chain.
   IServerChannelSink^ sinkChain = serverChannel->ChannelSinkChain;
   Console::WriteLine( L"The type of the server channel's sink chain is {0}.", sinkChain->GetType() );
   
   // See if the channel wants to listen.
   bool wantsToListen = serverChannel->WantsToListen;
   Console::WriteLine( L"The value of WantsToListen is {0}.", wantsToListen );
   
   // Parse the channel's URI.
   array<String^>^ urls = serverChannel->GetUrlsForUri( L"RemoteObject.rem" );
   if ( urls->Length > 0 )
   {
      String^ objectUrl = urls[ 0 ];
      String^ objectUri;
      String^ channelUri = serverChannel->Parse( objectUrl,  objectUri );
      Console::WriteLine( L"The object URI is {0}.", objectUri );
      Console::WriteLine( L"The channel URI is {0}.", channelUri );
      Console::WriteLine( L"The object URL is {0}.", objectUrl );
   }

   
   // Wait for the user prompt.
   Console::WriteLine( L"Press ENTER to exit the server." );
   Console::ReadLine();
   Console::WriteLine( L"The server is exiting." );
}

using System;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http;

public class Server
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create the server channel.
        HttpServerChannel serverChannel = new HttpServerChannel(9090);

        // Register the server channel.
        ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(serverChannel);

        // Display the channel's scheme.
        Console.WriteLine("The channel scheme is {0}.",
            serverChannel.ChannelScheme);

        // Display the channel's URI.
        Console.WriteLine("The channel URI is {0}.",
            serverChannel.GetChannelUri());

        // Expose an object for remote calls.
        RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(
            typeof(RemoteObject), "RemoteObject.rem",
            WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);

        // Get the channel's sink chain.
        IServerChannelSink sinkChain = serverChannel.ChannelSinkChain;
        Console.WriteLine(
            "The type of the server channel's sink chain is {0}.",
            sinkChain.GetType().ToString());

        // See if the channel wants to listen.
        bool wantsToListen = serverChannel.WantsToListen;
        Console.WriteLine(
            "The value of WantsToListen is {0}.",
            wantsToListen);

        // Parse the channel's URI.
        string[] urls = serverChannel.GetUrlsForUri("RemoteObject.rem");
        if (urls.Length > 0)
        {
            string objectUrl = urls[0];
            string objectUri;
            string channelUri =
                serverChannel.Parse(objectUrl, out objectUri);
            Console.WriteLine("The object URI is {0}.", objectUri);
            Console.WriteLine("The channel URI is {0}.", channelUri);
            Console.WriteLine("The object URL is {0}.", objectUrl);
        }

        // Wait for the user prompt.
        Console.WriteLine("Press ENTER to exit the server.");
        Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine("The server is exiting.");
    }
}

The following code example shows a client for this server.

#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Runtime.Remoting.dll>
#using "common.dll"
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Channels;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting::Channels::Http;

void main()
{
   // Create the channel.
   HttpClientChannel^ channel = gcnew HttpClientChannel;
   
   // Register the channel.
   ChannelServices::RegisterChannel( channel );
   
   // Register as client for remote object.
   WellKnownClientTypeEntry^ remoteType = gcnew WellKnownClientTypeEntry(
      RemoteObject::typeid,L"http://localhost:9090/RemoteObject.rem" );
   RemotingConfiguration::RegisterWellKnownClientType( remoteType );
   
   // Create an instance of the remote object.
   RemoteObject^ service = gcnew RemoteObject;
   
   // Invoke a method on the remote object.
   Console::WriteLine( L"The client is invoking the remote object." );
   Console::WriteLine( L"The remote object has been called {0} times.", service->GetCount() );
}

using System;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http;

public class Client
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create the channel.
        HttpClientChannel channel = new HttpClientChannel();

        // Register the channel.
        ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel);

        // Register as client for remote object.
        WellKnownClientTypeEntry remoteType = new WellKnownClientTypeEntry(
            typeof(RemoteObject),"http://localhost:9090/RemoteObject.rem");
        RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownClientType(remoteType);

        // Create an instance of the remote object.
        RemoteObject service = new RemoteObject();

        // Invoke a method on the remote object.
        Console.WriteLine("The client is invoking the remote object.");
        Console.WriteLine("The remote object has been called {0} times.",
            service.GetCount());
    }
}

The following code example shows the remote object used by the server and the client.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::Remoting;

// Remote object.
public ref class RemoteObject: public MarshalByRefObject
{
private:
   static int callCount = 0;

public:
   int GetCount()
   {
      callCount++;
      return (callCount);
   }

};

using System;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;

// Remote object.
public class RemoteObject : MarshalByRefObject
{
    private int callCount = 0;

    public int GetCount()
    {
        callCount++;
        return(callCount);
    }
}

Remarks

Channels transport messages across remoting boundaries (for example, between computers on application domains). The HttpServerChannel class transports messages using the HTTP protocol.

Channels are used by the .NET Framework remoting infrastructure to transport remote calls. When a client makes a call to a remote object, the call is serialized into a message that is sent by a client channel and received by a server channel. It is then deserialized and processed. Any returned values are transmitted by the server channel and received by the client channel.

To perform additional processing of messages on the server-side, you can specify an implementation of the IServerChannelSinkProvider through which all messages processed by the HttpServerChannel are passed.

The HttpServerChannel accepts messages serialized in either binary or SOAP format.

A HttpServerChannel object has associated configuration properties that can be set at run time either in a configuration file (by invoking the static RemotingConfiguration.Configure method) or programmatically (by passing a IDictionary collection to the HttpServerChannel constructor). For a list of these configuration properties, see the documentation for HttpServerChannel.
