web service and Remoting

Hi

Can someone explain me the difference between webservice and remoting (in .net technology)?

I will prefer some explanation here instead of refering to any article......

both web services and remoting aim to do the same thing, which is to expose some business functionality across application domains/networks/computers etc

Web services advantages are it can work over any network as it uses HTTP, SOAP/XML so it does not matter if the target is running java or .NET because at the end of the day the request and response are serialised into XML and send over HTTP/SOAP.

.NET remoting's advantages are it is much faster then web services because you can use binary serialisation over TCP communication channel. However the pitfalls are remoting in .NET must have both parties running .NET.
