Cross posted from the VSTO forum:
I have an exisiting WinForms application which uses Remoting to access the
business logic. I want to convert an existing VSTO document-centric Excel
2003 application to use the same business logic server - except this time I'd
rather build it as a Shared Add-in.
I ran a few experiments.
I created a test Shared Add-in project (no shim - just plain vanilla, out of
the box VS2005). I added a command bar button and the click event loads a
form. The form tries to populate a combo box with data from the remoting
server. I get a serialization exception:
A first chance exception of type
'System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
When I trace the request I notice that the server is invoked, the object is
returned to the add-in but the exception is thrown before the remoting
request completes.
As a test, I modified my VSTO version to use the same remoting method and
that seemed to work fine.
I tried a few variations - adding a seperate winforms project to contain all
the remoting logic, etc - with the same results.
Can remoting be used with Shared Add-in? Do I need to do some special shim
stuff? Should I re-post this question in the Remoting forum?
Thanks
