.NET web services Interview Question:

What is the difference between XML Web Services using ASMX and .NET Remoting using SOAP?

Submitted by: Administrator

XML Web services are more restricted than objects exposed over .NET Remoting.
XML Web services support open standards that target cross-platform use.
XML Web services are generally easier to create and due to the restricted nature of XML Web services, the design issues are simplified.
XML Web services support only SOAP message formatting, which uses larger XML text messages.
Communication with .NET Remoting can be faster than XML Web service communication with a binary formatter.
XML Web services are designed for use between companies and organizations.
XML Web services don't require a dedicated hosting program because they are always hosted by ASP.NET.
Consumers can use XML Web services just as easily as they can download HTML pages from the Internet. Thus there's no need for an administrator to open additional ports on a firewall as they work through MS-IIS and ASP.NET
