.NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 Hosting Global Static Functions

.NET Framework 4

Other Versions

Updated: July 2010

This section describes the unmanaged global static functions that the hosting API uses.

With the exception of the _Cor* functions, these functions have been deprecated in the .NET Framework version 4.

In This Section

_CorDllMain Function: Initializes the common language runtime (CLR), locates the managed entry point in the DLL assembly's CLR header, and begins execution.
_CorExeMain Function: Initializes the common language runtime (CLR), locates the managed entry point in the executable assembly's CLR header, and begins execution.
_CorExeMain2 Function: Executes the entry point in the specified memory-mapped code. This function is called by the operating system loader.
_CorImageUnloading Function: Notifies the loader when the managed module images are unloaded.
_CorValidateImage Function: Validates managed module images, and notifies the operating system loader after they have been loaded.
CallFunctionShim Function: Deprecated. Makes a call to the function that has the specified name and parameters in the specified library.
ClrCreateManagedInstance Function: Deprecated. Creates an instance of the specified managed type.
CoEEShutDownCOM Function: Unloads a COM assembly from the process. This function is deprecated in the .NET Framework version 4.
CoInitializeCor Function: CoInitializeCor is obsolete. To initialize the common language runtime (CLR), use either CorBindToRuntimeEx or CorBindToCurrentRuntime.
CoInitializeEE Function: Ensures that the CLR execution engine is loaded into a process. This function is deprecated in the .NET Framework 4. Use the ICLRRuntimeHost::Start method instead.
CorBindToCurrentRuntime Function: Deprecated. Loads the common language runtime (CLR) into a process by using version information stored in an XML file.
CorBindToRuntime Function: Deprecated. Enables unmanaged hosts to load the CLR into a process.
CorBindToRuntimeByCfg Function: Deprecated. Loads the CLR into a process by using version information that is read from an XML file.
CorBindToRuntimeEx Function: Deprecated. Enables unmanaged hosts to load the CLR into a process, and allows you to set flags to specify the behavior of the CLR.
CorBindToRuntimeHost Function: Deprecated. Enables hosts to load a specified version of the CLR into a process.
CorExitProcess Function: Deprecated. Shuts down the current unmanaged process.
CorLaunchApplication Function: Deprecated. Starts the application at the specified network path, using the specified manifests and other application data.
CorMarkThreadInThreadPool Function: Deprecated. Marks the currently executing thread-pool thread for the execution of managed code. Starting with the .NET Framework version 2.0, this function has no effect. It is not required, and can be removed from your code.
CoUninitializeCor Function: CoUninitializeCor is obsolete. The CLR cannot be unloaded from a process.
CoUninitializeEE Function: CoUninitializeEE is obsolete.
CreateDebuggingInterfaceFromVersion Function: Deprecated. Creates an ICorDebug object based on the specified version information.
CreateICeeFileGen Function: Deprecated. Creates an ICeeFileGen object.
DestroyICeeFileGen Function: Deprecated. Destroys an ICeeFileGen object.
FExecuteInAppDomainCallback Function Pointer: Deprecated. Points to a function that the CLR calls to execute managed code.
FLockClrVersionCallback Function Pointer: Deprecated. Points to a function that the CLR calls to notify the host that initialization has either started or completed.
GetCLRIdentityManager Function: Deprecated. Gets a pointer to an interface that allows the CLR to manage identities.
GetCORRequiredVersion Function: Deprecated. Gets the required CLR version number.
GetCORSystemDirectory Function: Deprecated. Returns the installation directory of the CLR that is loaded into the process.
GetCORVersion Function: Deprecated. Returns the version number of the CLR that is running in the current process.
GetFileVersion Function: Deprecated. Gets the CLR version information of the specified file, using the specified buffer.
GetRealProcAddress Function: Deprecated. Gets the address of the specified function that is exported from the latest installed version of the CLR.
GetRequestedRuntimeInfo Function: Deprecated. Gets version and directory information about the CLR requested by an application.
GetRequestedRuntimeVersion Function: Deprecated. Gets the version number of the CLR requested by the specified application. If that version is not installed, gets the most recent version that is installed before the requested version.
GetRequestedRuntimeVersionForCLSID Function: Deprecated. Gets the appropriate CLR version information for the class with the specified CLSID.
GetVersionFromProcess Function: Deprecated. Gets the version number of the CLR that is associated with the specified process handle.
LoadLibraryShim Function: Deprecated. Loads a specified version of a .NET Framework DLL.
LoadStringRC Function: Deprecated. Translates an HRESULT value into an error message by using the default culture of the current thread.
LoadStringRCEx Function: Deprecated. Translates an HRESULT value to an appropriate error message for the specified culture.
LockClrVersion Function: Deprecated. Allows the host to determine which version of the CLR will be used within the process before explicitly initializing the CLR.
LPOVERLAPPED_COMPLETION_ROUTINE Function Pointer: Deprecated. Points to a function that notifies the host when an overlapped (that is, asynchronous) I/O to a device has completed.
LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE Function Pointer: Deprecated. Points to a function that notifies the host that a thread has started to execute.
RunDll32ShimW Function: Deprecated. Executes the specified command.
WAITORTIMERCALLBACK Function Pointer: Deprecated. Points to a function that notifies the host that a wait handle has either been signaled or timed out.
