System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.IClientFormatterSinkProvider Interface

Summary

Marks a client channel sink provider as a client formatter sink provider.

C# Syntax:

public interface IClientFormatterSinkProvider : IClientChannelSinkProvider

An IClientFormatterSinkProvider creates client formatter sinks for the client channel through which remoting messages flow. The first sink on the client side must implement both the IMessageSink and IClientChannelSink interfaces, or the IClientFormatterSink interface.

Note To use a <formatter> tag instead of a <provider> tag within a configuration file, the client channel sink provider must implement the IClientFormatterSinkProvider interface instead of merely IClientChannelSinkProvider. For additional information on remoting configuration, see the conceptual topic at MSDN: channelformatterconfigurationproperties and .

Some formatter sink implementations use Runtime Formatters ( BinaryFormatter and SoapFormatter). Other implementations can use their own means to transform the channel message into the stream. On the return journey the formatter sink will transform the message stream back into the channel message elements (return message).
