Remarks

Objects can marshal by value or by reference. Any attempt to pass a type that cannot be marshaled through a context boundary will result in a ContextMarshalException.

ContextMarshalException uses the HRESULT COR_E_CONTEXTMARSHAL which has the value 0x80131504L.

ContextMarshalException uses the default Equals implementation, which supports reference equality.

For a list of initial property values for an instance of ContextMarshalException, see the ContextMarshalException constructors.
