TcpChannel Class

Provides a channel implementation that uses the TCP protocol to transmit messages.

Namespace: System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp
Assembly: System.Runtime.Remoting (in system.runtime.remoting.dll)

'Declaration
Public Class TcpChannel
	Implements IChannelReceiver, IChannelSender, IChannel, ISecurableChannel
'Usage
Dim instance As TcpChannel

public class TcpChannel implements IChannelReceiver, IChannelSender, 
	IChannel, ISecurableChannel
public class TcpChannel implements IChannelReceiver, IChannelSender, 
	IChannel, ISecurableChannel

Channels transport messages across remoting boundaries (for example, between computers on application domains). The TcpChannel class is a convenience class combining the functionality of the TcpClientChannel class and the TcpServerChannel class.

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, you can specify implementations of the IClientChannelSinkProvider and IServerChannelSinkProvider through which all messages processed by the TcpChannel are passed.

A TcpChannel 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 TcpChannel constructor). For more information about channel configuration properties, see Channel and Formatter Configuration Properties.

NoteNote

If the server computer is running Windows 95/98/Me, the server TcpChannel cannot be specified as secure.

The following code example shows how to use a TcpChannel to set up a remoting server and its client. The example contains three parts, a server, a client, and a remote object used by the server and the client.

The following code example shows a server:
