[C#]
public virtual object InitializeLifetimeService();
[C++]
public: virtual Object* InitializeLifetimeService();
[JScript]
public function InitializeLifetimeService() : Object;

Return Value

An object of type ILease used to control the lifetime policy for this instance. This is the current lifetime service object for this instance if one exists; otherwise, a new lifetime service object initialized to the value of the LifetimeServices.LeaseManagerPollTime property.

Remarks

For more information about lifetime services, see the LifetimeServices class.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following code example demonstrates creating a lease.

[Visual Basic] 
Public Class LSClass
    Inherits MarshalByRefObject
    
    Public Overrides Function InitializeLifetimeService() As Object
        Dim lease As ILease = CType(MyBase.InitializeLifetimeService(), ILease)
        If lease.CurrentState = LeaseState.Initial Then
            lease.InitialLeaseTime = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1)
            lease.SponsorshipTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2)
            lease.RenewOnCallTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)
        End If
        Return lease
    End Function


    Public Shared Sub Main()  
    ' The main thread processing is here.
    End Sub
End Class


[C#] 
public class MyClass : MarshalByRefObject
{
  public override Object InitializeLifetimeService()
  {
    ILease lease = (ILease)base.InitializeLifetimeService();
    if (lease.CurrentState == LeaseState.Initial)
    {
         lease.InitialLeaseTime = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1);
         lease.SponsorshipTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2);
          lease.RenewOnCallTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2);
    }
      return lease;
  }
}
