RemObjects SDK ‘Vinci’ for .NET by RemObjects Software

Add advanced cross-platform remoting to your applications. RemObjects SDK is an advanced remoting framework for which allows you to remotely access objects residing on a server from clients inside a LAN or across the Internet. RemObjects SDK will allow you to build client and server applications that easily and efficiently communicate with each other over any network using highly optimized Smart Services for performance or standard Web Services for cross-platform compatibility. RemObjects SDK enables you to build fully managed multi-tier servers and clients for the .NET and Mono platforms.

RemObjects SDK is a fully managed library that enables you to build fully managed multi-tier servers and clients for the .NET and Mono platforms. RemObjects SDK allows you to remotely access objects residing on a server from clients inside the LAN or across the Internet.

Cross-Platform

One of the main premises of the RemObjects SDK is its full wire-compatibility between the available editions. This allows you to easily combine servers and clients from different platforms - for example a .NET Compact Framework client can connect to a Delphi Server or a Kylix/Linux client can connect to a .NET or Mono Server.

True RAD Service Modeling

All editions of the RemObjects SDK include Service Builder, the RAD service-modeling tool that allows you to easily define the interface for your services, using the efficient and cross-platform RemObjects Definition Language (RODL). Service Builder's plug-in architecture allows you to create custom extensions or plug-in support for additional languages and platforms.
