Methods

  Name Description
Public method CreateObjRef Security Critical. Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Public method Equals Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method Finalize Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetHashCode Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method GetLifetimeService Security Critical. Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Public method GetProviders Returns an array of all the currently available global object providers.
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method InitializeLifetimeService Security Critical. Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone() Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
Protected method MemberwiseClone(Boolean) Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The GlobalObjectProviderFactory class provides a mechanism for enumerating global object providers.

Design-time tools that are concerned only with accessing a list of current global objects or types instead typically use the GetGlobalObjects or GetGlobalTypes methods of the GlobalObjectService class.

There is a default implementation of this mechanism built into Microsoft Visual Studio design environment. This implementation looks in the registry for all available global object providers on each call; it does not cache any data. Custom project types may specify which global objects are returned by providing a class derived from GlobalObjectProviderFactory in their project context. This will preempt the service that is built into the design package.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
