Type..::.IsMarshalByRefImpl Method

Implements the IsMarshalByRef property and determines whether the Type is marshaled by reference.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Protected Overridable Function IsMarshalByRefImpl As Boolean
protected virtual bool IsMarshalByRefImpl()
protected:
virtual bool IsMarshalByRefImpl()
abstract IsMarshalByRefImpl : unit -> bool 
override IsMarshalByRefImpl : unit -> bool 

Return Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if the Type is marshaled by reference; otherwise, false.
Remarks

This method can be overridden by a derived class.

Examples

The following example determines whether the given type is marshaled by reference and displays the result.
