[Mono-dev] Remoting IplImage/Bitmap return type problem

[buhochileno at gmail.com]

Is posible to create a binary representation of an object in memory with
some serialization and transmit the bytes[] of the object with remoting
and in the other side re-build the object with his bytes?, or I crazy :-S
.
