[QUOTE="thechad, post: 95466, member: 11382"] I too had a look at adapting the Cassini web server to work as a plugin for the TVServer service, however I ran into problems in the appdomain area as well. But this was while the plugin is starting up and as the TVServer uses Remoting I don't need access to the MP AppDomain as I can just use the provided dll (I think?). I can run library fine from a test console app but when I run as a plugin i get an exception [CODE]5/12/2006 7:00:20 PM Exception :System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast transparent proxy to type 'Cassini.Host'. at Cassini.Server.CreateHost() at Cassini.Server..ctor(Int32 port, String virtualPath, String physicalPath) at TVServerWeb.TVServerWeb.Start() 5/12/2006 7:00:20 PM Exception :Unable to cast transparent proxy to type 'Cassini.Host'. 5/12/2006 7:00:20 PM site :Void CreateHost() 5/12/2006 7:00:20 PM source :MPWeb 5/12/2006 7:00:20 PM stacktrace: at Cassini.Server.CreateHost() at Cassini.Server..ctor(Int32 port, String virtualPath, String physicalPath) at TVServerWeb.TVServerWeb.Start()[/CODE] This happens on the cast to Host type in the createHost function [CODE]private void CreateHost() { _host = (Host)ApplicationHost.CreateApplicationHost(typeof(Host), _virtualPath, _physicalPath); _host.Configure(this, _port, _virtualPath, _physicalPath, _installPath); }[/CODE] I had a look through the source of the playlist manager and it looks no different to what I am trying to do. Any tips cause I am out of my league here? I agree Sam that WCF is looking like it may be the easiest and trouble free way to implement this. On another note in regards to the appdomain issue and how jlewalle got around it in the playlist manager plugin, is this the best way to do it or would another layer possibly remoting in MP be better as it did not seem to flexible for change from the code I looked at, however as I said I am out of my league here.
