An object inheriting from ContextBoundObject
shares
characteristics with an object
inheriting from MarshalByRefObject. The difference
is that a context further subdivides a domain. While instances of
MarshalByRefObject are passed to other domains by
reference and must interact through proxy objects, instances of
ContextBoundObject are passed by reference to
other contexts, even in the same domain. Unlike domains, contexts can
provide a rich environment with other services such as
synchronization, transactions, just-in-time activation, and security.

System.Runtime.Remoting.Contexts namespace.
