[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Shared Function Connect(Type, String, Object) As Object

[C#] public static object Connect(Type, string, object);

[C++] public: static Object* Connect(Type*, String*, Object*);

[JScript] public static function Connect(Type, String, Object) : Object;

Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example demonstrates how to use the Connect method to create a proxy to a well-known object.

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] Note   This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of Connect. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.

[Visual Basic] 
Console.WriteLine("Connecting to SampleNamespace.SampleWellKnown.")

Dim proxy As SampleWellKnown = _
   CType(RemotingServices.Connect(GetType(SampleWellKnown), SERVER_URL), SampleWellKnown)

Console.WriteLine("Connected to SampleWellKnown")

' Verifies that the object reference is to a transparent proxy.
If RemotingServices.IsTransparentProxy(proxy) Then
   Console.WriteLine("proxy is a reference to a transparent proxy.")
Else
   Console.WriteLine("proxy is not a transparent proxy.  This is unexpected.")
End If

' Calls a method on the server object.
Console.WriteLine("proxy.Add returned {0}.", proxy.Add(2, 3))

[C#] 
Console.WriteLine("Connecting to SampleNamespace.SampleWellKnown.");

SampleWellKnown proxy = 
   (SampleWellKnown)RemotingServices.Connect(typeof(SampleWellKnown), SERVER_URL);

Console.WriteLine("Connected to SampleWellKnown");

// Verifies that the object reference is to a transparent proxy.
if (RemotingServices.IsTransparentProxy(proxy))
    Console.WriteLine("proxy is a reference to a transparent proxy.");
else
    Console.WriteLine("proxy is not a transparent proxy.  This is unexpected.");

// Calls a method on the server object.
Console.WriteLine("proxy.Add returned {0}.", proxy.Add(2, 3));

[C++] 
Console::WriteLine(S"Connecting to SampleNamespace::SampleWellKnown.");

SampleWellKnown* proxy = 
    dynamic_cast<SampleWellKnown*>(RemotingServices::Connect(__typeof(SampleWellKnown), const_cast<String*>(SERVER_URL)));

Console::WriteLine(S"Connected to SampleWellKnown");

// Verifies that the Object* reference is to a transparent proxy.
if (RemotingServices::IsTransparentProxy(proxy))
    Console::WriteLine(S"proxy is a reference to a transparent proxy.");
else
    Console::WriteLine(S"proxy is not a transparent proxy.  This is unexpected.");

// Calls a method on the server Object*.
Console::WriteLine(S"proxy->Add returned {0}.", __box(proxy->Add(2, 3)));
