[Mono-devel-list] Problem attaching to remoting server's method

[John Bailo]

I posted a problem last week about attaching to a remoting server that 
marshalls a remote object.  It's important that I understand why this code is 
not working -- I need to translate a remoting project to mono.   My own 
sample code is attached if you want to try it yourself.

 The error thrown is

	"Couldn't bind to method..."

Here is my original thread in the mono archives:

I do not see any responses but further Googling shows that others seem to have 
this problem since 2004:

The error might be bubbling up from this code of the mono core libraries, in 
the CreateDelegate method

 Type[] delargtypes = new Type [delargs.Length];
