Objects that derive from System.MarshalByRef don’t live in memory forever. We stated earlier in this chapter that these objects have a default idle period of 5 minutes, after which time the instance will be released. A new instance will be created to service future client requests. The .NET remoting system uses a system of leases to control the lifetime of MarshalByRefObject (MBR) objects.

When a new instance of a server-activated type is created, the ...
