 Translation: Unhanded exception: System.TypeLoadException: context-
 bound objects with generic methods are not supported.
 
 
 So we need to catch this in Mono as well.

+Interesting it's not supported on MS.NET. It appears to work fine on
+Mono with your 2 patches.
+
+I've got our application with generic remoting code working on Mono
+SVN head + your 2 patches. We use it to get services from server,
+pattern like (on the client):
+
+IServiceManager sm = whatever_code_to_get_service_manager_from_server;
+...
+sm.Get<ISomeService> ().DoSomething ();
+sm.Get<ITransactionService> ().Commit ();
+
+There are some reasons that ServiceManager and all other services are
+ContextBoundObjects (keeping track of current transaction, ...).
+
+Do you plan to commit your patches to SVN, so that
+generic+ContextBoundObject will work on Mono, or implement checks and
+throw exception like MS.NET does? (I would obviously prefer first
+choice, as I think that feature is very usable).
+
+Thanks
