[Mono-list] AppDomain

Hi Danel,

I'm a bit late into the thread but I will try to give you some hints of
how to fix this;

  klass = ((MonoTransparentProxy *)sampleApplicationHost)->klass;

The TP->klass points to the real class object and we don't change that
vtable when creating a proxy (the proxies is local to a domain and the
klass objects are static and not domain specific). This means that the
call:

  mono_runtime_invoke (klass->vtable[i], sampleApplicationHost, NULL,
NULL);

Just calling the method on the global class object pointing to the local
implementation instead of calling the remoting wrapper that calls
managed world and remoting (and is then changed into the other domain
and called..)

The easy fix for this is to call the vtable on the object directly
instead (it contains compiled remote wrappers):

  mono_runtime_invoke (sampleApplicationHost->vtable[i],
sampleApplicationHost, NULL, NULL);

This should (I haven't tested it) call the correct remoting function,
the vtable slot (should) will be the same as for the class.

Cheers,
 Patrik Torstensson
