I have been trying to get the following code to work(everything is defined in the same assembly) :
namespace SomeApp{
public class A : MarshalByRefObject
{
public byte[] GetSomeData() { // }
}
public class B : MarshalByRefObject
{
private A remoteObj;
public void SetA(A remoteObj)
{
this.remoteObj = remoteObj;
}
}
public class C
{
A someA = new A();
public void Init()
{
AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("ChildDomain");
string currentAssemblyPath = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
B remoteB = domain.domain.CreateInstanceFromAndUnwrap(currentAssemblyPath,"SomeApp.B") as B;
remoteB.SetA(someA); // this throws an ArgumentException "Object type cannot be converted to target type."
}
}
}
What I'm trying to do is pass a reference of an 'A' instance created in the first AppDomain to the child domain and have the child domain execute a method on the first domain. In some point on 'B' code I'm going to call 'remoteObj.GetSomeData()'. This has to be done because the 'byte[]' from 'GetSomeData' method must be 'calculated' on the first appdomain. What should I do to avoid the exception, or what can I do to achieve the same result?
