Late Binding With Remoting Data Type

[Guest schreiter]

I am trying to implement remoting in VB .NET. I have a client windows

appplication that needs to dynamically create a new local instance of a

remoting object (sourced from a host windows service on another computer)

based on some dynamic function (such as in my case the client queries a web

service and the web service returns the data type to be created as a string)

The client does not know what object it will need to create at runtime. I

would like some code to work sort of like this on the client:

 

assuming i have a link to the remoting host server like:

RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownClientType(GetType(DistObjects.HomeSe

rvice), "tcp://myserver:8085/SomeService")

 

-- wishful code below --

 

dim objecttype as string

objectname="some remote object type"

 

dim remotedobj as object

remoteobj = new objecttype

 

remoteobj.invokemethods

 

Maybe I'm completely off and there is an easier way to do this. Any ideas?
