How to: Override the InitializeLifetimeService Method

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).

This code example demonstrates a standard override the InitializeLifetimeService interface.

Example

Public Class MyLifetimeControlObject
  Inherits MarshalByRefObject
  Public Overrides Function InitializeLifetimeService() As [Object]
   Dim lease As ILease = CType(MyBase.InitializeLifetimeService(), ILease)
      If lease.CurrentState = LeaseState.Initial Then
         lease.InitialLeaseTime = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1)
         lease.SponsorshipTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2)
         lease.RenewOnCallTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)
      End If
      Return lease
  End Function 'InitializeLifetimeService
End Class 'MyLifetimeControlObject
public class MyLifetimeControlObject: MarshalByRefObject {
   public override Object InitializeLifetimeService()
   {
      ILease lease = (ILease)base.InitializeLifetimeService();
      if (lease.CurrentState == LeaseState.Initial)  {
         lease.InitialLeaseTime = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1);
         lease.SponsorshipTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2);
         lease.RenewOnCallTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2);
      }
      return lease;
   }
}
