Type: System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider

System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider Class

Assembly: System.Runtime.Remoting.dll
Namespace: System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels

Summary: Provides the implementation for the binary client formatter sink provider.

C# Syntax:


        public class BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider : IClientFormatterSinkProvider, IClientChannelSinkProvider

Remarks

A BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider creates client formatter sinks that use the BinaryFormatter to serialize messages for the client channel through which remoting messages flow.

The function of the formatter sink is to generate the necessary headers and serialize the message to the stream. After the formatter sink, the IMessage is forwarded to all sinks in the channel sink chain through the IClientChannelSink.ProcessMessage or IClientChannelSink.AsyncProcessRequest calls. At this stage the message has already been serialized and is provided as information only. Sinks that need to create or modify the message must be placed in the sink chain before the formatter. You can do this by implementing both the IMessageSink and IClientChannelSink interface. The formatter sink can then be placed in the sink chain later.

Formatter sinks use sink configuration properties to configure the channel at run time. Sink properties can be specified in a configuration file, or programmatically, inside of an IDictionary. In a configuration file all values are represented by strings, but when building a property IDictionary programmatically, value types can be specified with their native values or with strings.

The following table shows the sink configuration properties that can be specified for the current sink provider.

Property	Description
includeVersions	true or false . Specifies whether the formatter will include versioning information.

Overloaded ctor #2

Summary: Initializes a new instance of the BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider class with the given properties and provider data.

C# Syntax:


            public BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider(
   IDictionary properties,
   ICollection providerData
);

Parameters:

properties

An IDictionary of configuration properties to use with the new instance of BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider.

providerData

An ICollection of SinkProviderData objects containing provider data to use with the new instance of BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider.

Property: Next (read-write)

Summary: Gets or sets the next IClientChannelSinkProvider in the sink provider chain.

C# Syntax:


            public IClientChannelSinkProvider Next {get; set;}

Implements:: IClientChannelSinkProvider.Next

Return to top

Method: CreateSink(
   IChannelSender channel,
   string url,
   object remoteChannelData
)

Summary: Creates a sink chain.

C# Syntax:


            public IClientChannelSink CreateSink(
   IChannelSender channel,
   string url,
   object remoteChannelData
);

Parameters:

channel

Channel for which this sink chain is being constructed.

url

URL of object to connect to or the channel URI for the target object.

remoteChannelData

A channel data object describing a channel on the remote server. A channel data object describing a channel on the remote server.

Return Value:: The first sink of the newly formed channel sink chain, or null indicating that this provider will not or cannot provide a connection for this endpoint.

Implements:: IClientChannelSinkProvider.CreateSink

Remarks

When the IClientChannelSinkProvider.CreateSink method is called, it creates its own channel sink, forwards the IClientChannelSinkProvider.CreateSink call to the next sink provider in the chain (if there is one), and ensures that the next sink and the current one are linked together.
