Context Class

Definition

Defines an environment for the objects that are resident inside it and for which a policy can be enforced.

Remarks

A context is an ordered sequence of properties that define an environment for the objects resident inside it. Contexts get created during the activation process for objects that are configured to require certain automatic services, such as synchronization, transactions, just-in-time activation, security, and so on. Multiple objects can live inside a context.

Classes are marked with an instance of the ContextAttribute class, which provides the usage rules. Whenever a new object is instantiated, the .NET Framework finds a compatible or creates a new instance of the Context class for the object. Once an object is placed in a context, it stays in it for life. Classes that can be bound to a context are called context-bound classes. When accessed from another context, such classes are referenced directly by using a proxy. Any call from an object in one context to an object in another context will go through a context proxy and be affected by the policy that the combined context properties enforce.

A new object's context is generally chosen based on meta-data attributes on the class. This mechanism is extensible through custom attributes. These are known as static-context properties, which are compiled into the class meta-data. Dynamic-context properties (also known as configuration properties) can be applied and configured by administrators.

For more information on contexts, see Boundaries: Processes and Application Domains.

Constructors

Methods

AllocateDataSlot()

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Allocates an unnamed data slot.

AllocateNamedDataSlot(String)

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Looks up a named data slot.

GetProperty(String)

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Returns a specific context property, specified by name.

GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
