In .Net Activator.GetObject(Type type, string url, object data) returns a proxy to the object. I guess that proxy inherits from MarshalByRefObject and can be sent across AppDomains. Am I right? In my app, I am creating an object in appdomain A and using it appdomain B. The object's members are proxyobjects created using Activator.GetObj...

I scanned Stackoverflow for the exact question, but neither of the (almost) relevant question (such as this question about rendering graphics, and this question about Learni...
One of the frequent causes of memory leaks in .Net are event handlers which are never removed from their source objects. Will this WCF code cause a memory leak, or will the lamda go out of scope too, allowing both the proxy class and the handler to be GCed? void AMethod() { WCFClient proxy; proxy = new WCFClient(); proxy.R...
