Implements

ISurrogateSelector::GetSurrogate(Type, StreamingContext, ISurrogateSelector%)

A remoting surrogate handles the remoting serialization requirements of an object that derives from a MarshalByRefObject. During serialization of an object that derives from MarshalByRefObject to a remote location, the remoting surrogate creates an ObjRef that contains all the relevant information required to activate and communicate with the remote object. The newly created ObjRef can then be sent to a remote location and used to create a proxy.
