Defines the method call message interface.

Namespace:  System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public interface IMethodCallMessage : IMethodMessage, 
	IMessage

The IMethodCallMessage type exposes the following members.

  Name Description
Public property ArgCount Gets the number of arguments passed to the method. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public property Args Gets an array of arguments passed to the method. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public property HasVarArgs Gets a value indicating whether the message has variable arguments. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public property InArgCount Gets the number of arguments in the call that are not marked as out parameters.
Public property InArgs Gets an array of arguments that are not marked as out parameters.
Public property LogicalCallContext Gets the LogicalCallContext for the current method call. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public property MethodBase Gets the MethodBase of the called method. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public property MethodName Gets the name of the invoked method. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public property MethodSignature Gets an object containing the method signature. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public property Properties Gets an IDictionary that represents a collection of the message's properties. (Inherited from IMessage.)
Public property TypeName Gets the full Type name of the specific object that the call is destined for. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public property Uri Gets the URI of the specific object that the call is destined for. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)

  Name Description
Public method GetArg Gets a specific argument as an Object. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public method GetArgName Gets the name of the argument passed to the method. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
Public method GetInArg Returns the specified argument that is not marked as an out parameter.
Public method GetInArgName Returns the name of the specified argument that is not marked as an out parameter.

An IMethodCallMessage is generated as a result of a method called on a remote object, and is used to transport details about the remote method call to the server side.
