jkaster: aohlsson: "Can I use DataHub/DataSync with VCL for .NET?" - the design time functionality is not available for this. You can use things at run-time.

jkaster: jkaster: "Is there a way to use the same application server for both native .NET remoting support and a web service interface?" - yes, this is definitely possible.

jkaster: aohlsson: "Is there an example of extending DataHub/DataSync with my own protocol or compression, etc?" - There's no example as such right now, but we can write some articles on this.

jkaster: jkaster: "How is DataSync different than using multiple ADO.NET providers for a .NET dataset? What advantages does it provide over the standard .NET dataset?" - One thing is it aggregates all your providers into one component. The resolving process is much more convenient, performant, and powerful.

jkaster: jkaster: "Can connections to the remoting server be monitored? Is there anything available to create a monitoring console application?" - This is something we want to evolve. We want a tracing and monitoring service.

jkaster: Is the ITrackingHandler interface documentation

jkaster: jkaster: "What resources on .NET remoting do you recommend?" - My main resource is the framework SDK. Advanced .NET remoting is the book I've used.
