We are passing some fairly large datsets around using remoting with IIS as the host.  We have seen a lot of performance issues with doing this.  My research has revealed that a DataSet hard-codes the serialization as a diffgram regardless of the characteristics of the underlying stream.  I have heard that MS recognizes the design issue with this and is working on doing something. 

I stumbled on this today.  Rather dated, but none the less worth looking over.

In follow-up, I think it is important to remember this is a public forum and all of us on here are intelligent, well-spoken folks who wish to share their experiences, else we would not be blogging.  I do not see where any good can come from a blog that suggests one is a lesser because of a language choice, or for that matter, for anything we do in our development lives.  

I was saddened to hear the news 

Why do I continue to read blogs from C, C++ and C# snobs that have to degrade and knock down VB developers?  http://dotnetweblogs.com/AKrowczyk/posts/post.aspx?ID=3126

Looks like DM is giving some of these away for free:

I banged my head on this for 2 hours yesterday.  I am passing an array of Structures over http to a remoted object using the Binary Formatter.  Well, seems there is a bug with doing this.
