'Usage
Dim instance As ISponsor

public interface ISponsor
Not applicable.

An object must implement the ISponsor interface if it needs to request a lease renewal for a particular object. An object that implements the ISponsor interface can become a sponsor by registering itself with the lease manager. The ISponsor interface is used by the lifetime service to call back to the sponsor.

Public Class MyClientSponsor
   Inherits MarshalByRefObject
   Implements ISponsor 
   Private lastRenewal As DateTime
   
   Public Sub New()
      lastRenewal = DateTime.Now
   End Sub 'New
   
   <SecurityPermission(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Flags := SecurityPermissionFlag.Infrastructure)> _
   Public Function Renewal(lease As ILease) As TimeSpan Implements ISponsor.Renewal
      Console.WriteLine("Request to renew the lease time.")
      Console.WriteLine("Time since last renewal: " + _ 
                      DateTime.op_Subtraction(DateTime.Now, lastRenewal).ToString())
      
      lastRenewal = DateTime.Now
      Return TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20)
   End Function 'Renewal
End Class 'MyClientSponsor
