IMethodReturnMessage Interface

Defines the method call return message interface.

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

The IMethodReturnMessage 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 Exception Gets the exception thrown during the method call.
Public property HasVarArgs Gets a value indicating whether the message has variable arguments. (Inherited from IMethodMessage.)
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 OutArgCount Gets the number of arguments in the method call marked as ref or out parameters.
Public property OutArgs Returns the specified argument marked as a ref or an out parameter.
Public property Properties Gets an IDictionary that represents a collection of the message's properties. (Inherited from IMessage.)
Public property ReturnValue Gets the return value of the method call.
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.)

A method call return message represents the response to a method call on an object at the end of the message sink. An IMethodReturnMessage is generated as a result of a method called on a remote object, and is used to return the results of the method call back to the caller.

The following example code shows a custom proxy that overrides RealProxy.Invoke in order to write the return message information to the console.


[PermissionSet(SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")]
public class MyProxy : RealProxy
{
   String stringUri;
   MarshalByRefObject myMarshalByRefObject;

   public MyProxy(Type myType): base(myType)
   {
      myMarshalByRefObject = (MarshalByRefObject)Activator.CreateInstance(myType);
      ObjRef myObject = RemotingServices.Marshal(myMarshalByRefObject);
      stringUri = myObject.URI;
   }

   public override IMessage Invoke(IMessage myMessage)
   {
      IMethodCallMessage myCallMessage = (IMethodCallMessage)myMessage;

      IMethodReturnMessage myIMethodReturnMessage =
         RemotingServices.ExecuteMessage(myMarshalByRefObject, myCallMessage);

      Console.WriteLine("Method name : " + myIMethodReturnMessage.MethodName);
      Console.WriteLine("The return value is : " + myIMethodReturnMessage.ReturnValue);

      // Get number of 'ref' and 'out' parameters.
      int myArgOutCount = myIMethodReturnMessage.OutArgCount;
      Console.WriteLine("The number of 'ref', 'out' parameters are : " +
         myIMethodReturnMessage.OutArgCount);
      // Gets name and values of 'ref' and 'out' parameters.
      for(int i = 0; i < myArgOutCount; i++)
      {
         Console.WriteLine("Name of argument {0} is '{1}'.",
            i, myIMethodReturnMessage.GetOutArgName(i));
         Console.WriteLine("Value of argument {0} is '{1}'.",
            i, myIMethodReturnMessage.GetOutArg(i));
      }
      Console.WriteLine();
      object[] myObjectArray = myIMethodReturnMessage.OutArgs; 
      for(int i = 0; i < myObjectArray.Length; i++)
         Console.WriteLine("Value of argument {0} is '{1}' in OutArgs",
            i, myObjectArray[i]);
      return myIMethodReturnMessage;
   }
}
