issue stacks up w/ everything returning null. I think long term we need to provide an API that lets you provide the sponsors for hosting API objects but until we do that leasing your own objects may be futile unless there a whole lot of them in comparison
to the hosting API objects. I actually haven’t done the leasing stuff myself either so I’m not sure I can quickly cook up an example.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I did override "InitializeLifetimeService" in MbrBase to return null. But in my example the "scope" object dies at first instance, so how would overriding "InitializeLifetimeService" in MbrBase help. Could you please modify my code to illustrate the right usage
of ISponsor on the client side. <br>
<br>
My application will create objects periodically in the appdomain and execute methods implemented in IronPython. These methods may take around 20 minutes to execute. The whole application may run for a day or more. So I need to take this into consideration while
implementing the lifetime service.<br>
<br>
I needed to confirm one thing. Do i need to provide the lease period for all objects created in the Appdomain. As per the code given below do i need to provide the lease period for "code","scope","mbr","script", "ops" etc.<br>
Or is it only based on how long I expect the object to be alive.<br>
<br>
I am new to this concept of Appdomain hence my questions may sound silly.<o:p></o:p></p>

example if you overrode InitializeLifetimeService in MbrBase to always return null your object will be kept alive forever. That will work fine as long as the app domain isn’t living for an extremely long time or that you have a limited number of these MBROs
that you’re creating in the app domain.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt">Hi,<br>
<br>
I posted this last week and I did not get a response.Hence posting it again.<br>
<br>
I have an application that creates a python engine in a new appdomain. If I do not specify a lease period I see that the objects are disconnected when I leave it idle for a period of 5 minutes. I used "InitializeLifetimeService" to keep the object alive forever
but it did not work. The "dlr-spec-hosting" document mentions the following in page 93 under "Current Issues" section : "Currently if you do not use a host for 15 min, it dies, and you lose your data. We've added InitializeLifetimeService on objects to cause
them to stay alive forever, but we need to think through the design and the host controls here". Currently I renew the object using "ILease". I do not know if this is the right thing to do. Could you please suggest me the right way to deal with this issue.
I have provided the code below for your reference.<br>
