Remarks

Marshal.BindToMoniker exposes the BindToMoniker COM API method, which produces an object that you can cast to any COM interface you require. This method provides the same functionality as the GetObject method in Visual Basic 6.0 and Visual Basic 2005. For additional information about the BindToMoniker COM method, see the MSDN Library.

Note
This method uses SecurityAction.LinkDemand to prevent it from being called from untrusted code; only the immediate caller is required to have SecurityPermissionAttribute.UnmanagedCode permission. If your code can be called from partially trusted code, do not pass user input to Marshal class methods without validation. For important limitations on using the LinkDemand member, see Demand vs. LinkDemand.
