remoting vs WCF

HI,
Currently we have a client server application workking on teh Socket
programming. We need to change the application either to remoting or
WCF. I need to justify why we will go for remoting or for WCF. I
tried to search on net advantages and disdvantages of both the
technologies.
The application scenario :

1.The client and the server are both controlled by us.
2. The client passes many different requests to the server with
different arguments.
3. Server processes all the requests.
3.If the server fails in any task it has to intimate the client about
a task fail.
4.Client has to many tasks to send to server with different
parameters.
5. Some more code for different tasks will be added on the server.
6.We need a proper logging in place.
7.We deal with lots of configuration files on the server part.

How much code change is needed to switch from Socket Programming to
Remoting .
Will rewriting the code in WCF be the same effor as changing the code?
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks
Amol

Re: remoting vs WCF


You would bether go for WCF as remoting is a dead end as MS favored the
newer WCF technologies
isn`t that justification enough to choose WCF ?

everything you mentioned can be done with WCF technologies
