Remoting question....

[Joe Coder]

OK, so I'm new to .Net remoting and I have a couple of questions.

What is the context of the object being hosted? Like, if my object is
coded to run a Win32 API and get system metrics and report them back
through a simple function call. To keep it simple, let's say we are
getting the max screen resolution. And, we code a simple function to do
that. And we place this as the sole function in our object that we will
make available to remote clients.

When a remote client attaches to our object and calls the function will the
max screen resolution returned be for the client's screen or the host's
screen?

I guess I am asking what context the object will run in if marshalled by
reference and what context if marshalled by value.

Thanks for your help!

The code executes in the context of the machine that functions as a server.
