Examples

The following code example demonstrates creating a lease.

Visual Basic
Public Class LSClass
    Inherits MarshalByRefObject

    <SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, _
                                 Flags:=SecurityPermissionFlag.Infrastructure)> _
    Public Overrides Function InitializeLifetimeService() As Object
        Dim lease As ILease = CType(MyBase.InitializeLifetimeService(), ILease)
        If lease.CurrentState = LeaseState.Initial Then
            lease.InitialLeaseTime = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1)
            lease.SponsorshipTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2)
            lease.RenewOnCallTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)
        End If
        Return lease
    End Function


    Public Shared Sub Main()  
    ' The main thread processing is here.
    End Sub
End Class

C#
public class MyClass : MarshalByRefObject
{
  [SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, 
                               Flags=SecurityPermissionFlag.Infrastructure)]
  public override Object InitializeLifetimeService()
  {
    ILease lease = (ILease)base.InitializeLifetimeService();
    if (lease.CurrentState == LeaseState.Initial)
    {
         lease.InitialLeaseTime = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1);
         lease.SponsorshipTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2);
          lease.RenewOnCallTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2);
    }
      return lease;
  }
}
Visual C++
public ref class MyClass: public MarshalByRefObject
{
public:

   [System::Security::Permissions::SecurityPermissionAttribute
   (System::Security::Permissions::SecurityAction::Demand,
   Flags=System::Security::Permissions::SecurityPermissionFlag::Infrastructure)]
   virtual Object^ InitializeLifetimeService() override
   {
      ILease^ lease = dynamic_cast<ILease^>(MarshalByRefObject::InitializeLifetimeService());
      if ( lease->CurrentState == LeaseState::Initial )
      {
         lease->InitialLeaseTime = TimeSpan::FromMinutes( 1 );
         lease->SponsorshipTimeout = TimeSpan::FromMinutes( 2 );
         lease->RenewOnCallTime = TimeSpan::FromSeconds( 2 );
      }

      return lease;
   }

to make the object live indefinitely
For those who would like to have their objects live indefinitely (while the app-domain exists), override this method to return null (or nothing).

public override Object InitializeLifetimeService()
{
return null; // makes the object live indefinitely
}
