Remarks

Server-activated types can be either single call or singleton. If a class is registered as a single call type, a new instance is created each time a call from the client arrives. All calls to a singleton object are handled by one instance of that object, unless that object has been collected.

Any client that knows the URI of a registered server-activated object can obtain a proxy for this object by registering the channel it prefers with ChannelServices and activating the object by calling new or Activator.GetObject. To activate a server-activated object with new, you must first register the server-activated object type on the client using the RegisterWellKnownClientType method. By calling RegisterWellKnownClientType, you are giving the remoting infrastructure the location of the remote object, which allows the new keyword to create it. If, on the other hand, you use the Activator.GetObject method to activate a server-activated object, you must supply it with the object's URL as an argument, so no prior registration on the client is necessary.

For a detailed description of server-activated objects and remote object activation, see Activation of Remote Objects.

Constructors

WellKnownClientTypeEntry(String, String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the WellKnownClientTypeEntry class with the given type, assembly name, and URL.
WellKnownClientTypeEntry(Type, String)	Initializes a new instance of the WellKnownClientTypeEntry class with the given type and URL.

Properties

ApplicationUrl	Gets or sets the URL of the application to activate the type in.
AssemblyName	Gets the assembly name of the object type configured to be a remote-activated type. (Inherited from TypeEntry)
ObjectType	Gets the Type of the server-activated client type.
ObjectUrl	Gets the URL of the server-activated client object.
TypeName	Gets the full type name of the object type configured to be a remote-activated type. (Inherited from TypeEntry)

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns the full type name, assembly name, and object URL of the server-activated client type as a String.
