I am writing a program that will allow you to download a specific .DLL file and play with it. Since I want the ability to upload a .DLL file, I create two AppDomains - one for the application itself and one for the currently downloaded .DLL.
Since most of the objects in the loaded .DLL do not serialize well, I create a wrapper class MarshalByRefObjectthat will save the object itself in its own AppDomain and output some reflection functions to the main AppDomain application.
However, when I try to call a method on a remote object, I get stuck with the exception:
Permission denied: cannot remotely call non-public or static methods.
This is very strange because I do not use any non-public or static methods at all. Essentially, I have:
class RemoteObjectWrapper: MarshalByRefObject
{
private Type SourceType;
private object Source;
public RemoteObjectWrapper(object source)
{
if (source == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("source");
this.Source = source;
this.SourceType = source.GetType();
}
public T WrapValue<T>(object value)
{
if ( value == null )
return default(T);
var TType = typeof(T);
if (TType == typeof(RemoteObjectWrapper))
value = new RemoteObjectWrapper(value);
return (T)value;
}
public T InvokeMethod<T>(string methodName, params object[] args)
{
return WrapValue<T>(SourceType.InvokeMember(methodName,
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance |
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public, null, this.Source, args));
}
}
And I get an exception when I try to do:
var c = SomeInstanceOfRemoteObjectWrapper.InvokeMethod<RemoteObjectWrapper>("somePublicMethod", "some string parameter");
What's going on here? As far as I understand, the method InvokeMethodis not even executed, an exception occurs when I try to run it.
Added: To clarify - SomeInstanceOfRemoteObjectWrapperit is created in .DLL AppDomain and then returned to my main AppDomain, it InvokeMethod<T>()is called from my main AppDomain (and I expect it to be executed in .DLL AppDomain).
