Replacement of Remoting in .Net 2005

I heard that there's a replacement for .Net Remoting in .Net 2005. Is it true ? And if yes, can someone help me to give a link for that ?

I'm looking something to implement client-server application and would like to know the alternative outside doing a web service (if someone said that this is the best and only things to do in .Net, it's certainly interest me to know the reason behind)

Thanks

.NET Remoting is alive and well in .NET 2.0. Perhaps you're thinking of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF, formerly known as Indigo)? It will supercede .NET Remoting when it ships, but it hasn't yet. For more information on WCF, see http://www.dev-archive.com/dotnet/Article/29414

Thanks for the information about WCF (looks like a typical web service :).

By the way, when I took a .Net training last time, my trainer said for client server we'd better use web service, instead of remoting, cause it has much more advantages compare to remoting. Do you agree with that ? Or what's the advantages and when to use remoting (I was using DCOM, and want to replace it for many reasons) ?
