Summary: total friggin junk
Review: I have read over 200 technical manuals in my time, and I make sure to try and compliment authors when they have done good work. So, I must do the same when I face a book as bad as this thing is. This is total garbage that isn't worth even the miniscule asking price of 8 bucks!! 32 Pages....and you could tell this guy was seriously trying to fill up as many as he could with nothing more than what macromedia has on the subject.....which isn't much! I feel so robbed! The guy that wrote the previous review must have been the author, because this book is just junk. He should be ashamed of himself for trying to fill up 32 useless pages and try and sell it...when there is much more useful information online for free! Not even ONE of the examples worked! Not to mention that he doesn't keep any code in order....and none of the code is complete! If you are thinking about buying this....run away...this is a total con job!

Summary: Good intro to .Net Remoting
Review: The 32 page PDF provided some very nice foundation info for getting started with .Net remoting. However, the writer left out which .Net install would be most beneficial to work with (.Net remoting SDK version should be installed). Particularly when programming the Web Services example(received GetData function errors). Speaking of which, it contains an error in the DataSet command:objCmd.Fill(Ds,"notusers")
SHOULD BE WRITTEN AS
objCmd.Fill(Ds,"Users") Otherwise the CB Component won't populate. The only other problem really was the incorrect pathing to the databases used in the example, it was as if he copied the code, pasted it and rushed the PDF out the door. He could've at least prompted the user to change the path to the database. On the whole he covered basic implementation and a very important security setup with the bin directory which was helpful and useful for future implementations. I would recommend this PDF to more intermediate users of .Net and Remoting(only because of the errors), but beginners will find invaluable information regarding the technologies and nice overview to get them started. I would repost this PDF with the errors fixed so that developers new to these technologies will not get frustrated by the examples.
