Remoting Example: Lifetimes

Artykuł
02/18/2010

This topic is specific to a legacy technology that is retained for backward compatibility with existing applications and is not recommended for new development. Distributed applications should now be developed using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

The following code example demonstrates several of the lifetime-lease scenarios. Client.exe registers a sponsor that (after the initial lease time) renews the lease for a TimeSpan different from that specified in the ClientActivatedType.InitializeLifetimeService(). Be aware that the MyClientSponsor extends MarshalByRefObject so that it can be passed by reference to the lease manager (in the Server.exe Application Domain). This application runs on a single computer or across a network. If you want to run this application over a network, you must replace "localhost" in the client configuration with the name of the remote computer.

Caution:
.NET Remoting does not perform authentication or encryption by default. Therefore, it is recommended that you take all necessary steps to verify the identity of clients or servers before interacting with them remotely. Because .NET Remoting applications require FullTrust permissions to execute, if a unauthorized client were granted access on your server, the client could execute code as though it were fully trusted. Always authenticate your endpoints and encrypt the communication streams, either by hosting your remoted types in Internet Information Services (IIS) or by building a custom channel sink pair to do this work.

Run Server.exe and then Client.exe you should see output like the following:

Server.exe:

C:\projects\Lifetime\Server\bin>server

The server is listening. Press Enter to exit....

ClientActivatedType.RemoteMethod called.

Client.exe:

C:\projects\Lifetime\Client\bin>client

Client-activated object: RemoteMethod called. MyDomain\SomeUser

Press Enter to end the client application domain.
