Why would I use InitializeLifetimeService on a WinForm Dialog?

Question

I'm refactoring some code I inherited from a long-gone developer, and I find this:

ImportExportForm l_Form = new ImportExportForm();
l_Form.InitializeLifetimeService();
l_Form.ShowDialog();

I've never seen or used the LifetimeService before, but from the little I've read, I don't understand why I would want to use it here, but before saying WTF, I wondered if I might be missing some subtle detail?

Answer 1

As far as I know this is a method normally use for Remote .Net Objects, and to establish the lifetime of an instance. Look here:

I don't think that it's important for normal Windows Form.
