Channel and Formatter Configuration Properties

This topic is specific to a legacy technology that is retained for backward compatibility with existing applications and is not recommended for new development. Distributed applications should now be developed using the  Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

This topic lists and explains all configuration properties that you can specify for the IChannel implementations in the .NET remoting system. All values are represented by strings when you declare them in the configuration file, but when building the property IDictionary programmatically, integer values can be specified as integers (without quotes) or as strings (values within quotes), and Boolean values can be specified as Booleans. All other values are specified as strings.

For information about how to configure a channel in a configuration file, in a <channel> element, see How To: Configure a Channel in a Configuration File. For information about how to configure a channel programmatically, see How To: Configure a Channel Programmatically.
