Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As ContextBoundObject

C#

[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public abstract class ContextBoundObject : MarshalByRefObject

Visual C++

[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public ref class ContextBoundObject abstract : public MarshalByRefObject

JScript

public abstract class ContextBoundObject extends MarshalByRefObject

Objects that reside in a context and are bound to the context rules are called context-bound objects. A context is a set of properties or usage rules that define an environment where a collection of objects resides. The rules are enforced when the objects are entering or leaving a context. Objects that are not context-bound are called agile objects.

Contexts are created during object activation. A new object is placed into an existing context or into a new context created using the attributes included in the metadata of the type. Context-bound classes are marked with a ContextAttribute that provides the usage rules. The context properties that can be added include policies regarding synchronization and transactions.

Notes to Implementers:

The current version of the common language runtime does not support generic ContextBoundObject types or nongeneric ContextBoundObject types that have generic methods. Attempting to create an instance of such a type causes a TypeLoadException.

For more information, see the "Limitations of Generics" subsection of the Overview of Generics in the .NET Framework topic.
