A proxy is an object used by the client application in place of the remote object. Proxies
that are used in Chapter 55 have a similar functionality to the proxies in this chapter.
The implementation of proxies for Web services and proxies for .NET Remoting is
very different.
Now you can start the server and then the client. Within the client console, the text Hello, Stephanie
appears fi ve times. With your server console window you can see the output shown. With every method call
a new instance gets created because the WellKnownObjectMode.SingleCall activation mode was selected:
Press return to exit

architecture and the mechanisms for extensibility.
