How to use App.config in .NET3.5 when using Remoting with out adding Remoting related configuation in App.config?

Question

I am trying to use an App.config for a Windows Service application which is hosting Remoting and is developed in .NET3.5. In that App.config, I would like to keep some values which I will be using across the solution. I am not adding Remoting relation configuration stuff to it. But while running application it is expecting Remoting related configuration stuff in App.config. I dont want to put Remoting related configuration in that file. How I can resolve this issue?

Answer 1

You can configure remoting programmatically,

to register a channel you can

IChannel tcpChannel = new TcpChannel(8888);
ChannelService.RegisterChannel(tcpChannel);

Basicly everything can be configured in code.

I would recommend Ingo Rammer's Advanced .Net Remoting!

Answer 2

You could put your remoting configuration stuff in a separate file, then configure remoting by calling:

System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingConfiguration.Configuration(myConfigFileName, true);
