Remoting Boundaries

In the unmanaged world, the Microsoft Windows operating system segregates applications into separate processes. In essence, the process forms a boundary around application code and data. All data and memory addresses are process relative, and code executing in one process can’t access memory in another process without using some sort of interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism. One benefit of this address isolation is a more fault-tolerant environment because a fault occurring in one process doesn’t affect other processes. Address isolation also prevents code in one process from directly manipulating data in another process.

Because the common language runtime verifies managed code as type-safe and verifies that the managed ...
