Web service VS Remoting

A Web service is equivalent to a static function library. If a client creates an instance of Web service and a member variable of the object with one method call, then attempts to read the value from another method call, the value will be the default value for the variable, not the new value. That's because a Web service doesn't maintain session state without considerable hacking outside the "SOAP" standard.

Remoting feature of .Net however, works with remote objects. If you need the ability to use the remote objects rather than just remote methods, Remoting is the way to go!

Can you identify a pro for Web service when measured against .Net remoting?
