Hello,

I am probably facing a sort of language barrier, but i can't really get what
'marshalling' is in terms of .NET
Is it a kind of type casting? And when do you use it?

Thank you,
Andrey

It means pretty much the as in other (non-.NET) environments. It's
basicly the process of packaging data for sending across some
boundary. It could be between managed and unmanaged code, or to some
other AppDomain, process or machine.

A Google search for "define:marshalling" should give you more details.
