Im migrating a WPF app onto .NET5+, and I see some classes have inherited from MarshalByRefObject class.
Indeed, im not sure how it was used previously, and I myself have no practical experience using this. I saw InitializeLifetimeService() has been overriden to simply return null, but I dont know what's the purpose of it also.
I had done some study/search and it seems that this class is here for remoting (but I don't see anywhere in the codebase using multiple app domains), which remoting itself no longer exists in .NET5+ (core) world.
While I have marked InitializeLifetimeService() obsolete for now to make my app compile, question is:
- Wonder if I should/can completely remove the inheritance from MarshalByRefObject?
- or should I keep the class inherited from MarshalByRefObject and just remove any InitializeLifetimeService()/GetLifetimeService() (not sure if MarshalByRefObject still enable some functionality?)
Thanks for help!
