When to use ASMX, ES or Remoting

I am a very believer that engineering, and life, is about tradeoffs.  It is rare indeed when there is an “alway true” right answer.  Ask anyone who has taken any of my training courses - the answer to almost any question, expecially if if begins with “Which way is better...”, is “it depends” ! The answer to all other questions is “XML” !  :-)

In order to make the right tradeoffs, you need to know what your options are and what are the plusses and minusses of each one. Here is a good start on the question of  when to use Web Services (ASMX), Enterprise Services (ES) or .NET Remoting.  There are some good embedded links, which I give you here and here as well.
