We have a application which receive Datatables over Remoting and then show the content in an UltraGrid from Infragistics. The nice feature of this Grid is that it can load and save their Display layout with the Soapformatter. From Framework Version 1.0 to 2.0 Feb CTP this works very fine but now in Beta2 after register a Remoting object with the following line:

RemotingConfiguration.RegisterActivatedClientType(typeof(rawConnection),"tcp://" + HostName +":" + 12000);

The SoapFormatter doesn′t work anymore with the following lines:

SoapFormatter f =newSoapFormatter(null,new System.Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext())

f.AssemblyFormat = System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.FormatterAssemblyStyle.Full;

f.Binder =new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.Serialization.Binder();

object o = f.Deserialize(fs);

it crashes after Deserialize with the error:

System.NotSupportedException: Cannot create uninitialized instances of types requiring managed activation.chemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />>>

When i try the SoapFormatter without do anything with Remoting all works fine still in Beta2.

I hope someone can help us.
