System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.IServerChannelSinkProvider Interface

Summary

Creates server channel sinks for the server channel through which remoting messages flow.

C# Syntax:

public interface IServerChannelSinkProvider

Channel sinks are connected to a server channel through implementations of the IServerChannelSinkProvider interface. All the remoting server channels provide constructors that take an IServerChannelSinkProvider as a parameter.

Channel sink providers are stored in a chain, and the user is responsible for chaining all channel sink providers together before passing the outer one to the channel constructor. IServerChannelSinkProvider provides a property called IServerChannelSinkProvider.Next for this purpose.

When multiple channel sink providers are specified in a configuration file, the remoting infrastructure will chain them together in the order they are found in the configuration file. The channel sink providers are created at the same time as the channel, during a RemotingConfiguration.Configure call.

After the IMethodCallMessage is generated, .NET Framework searches through the list of registered channels to find one that can process the call. Once an appropriate channel has been found, the channel sink is retrieved from the channel, and the IMethodCallMessage is forwarded to the sink for processing.
