Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.Demand, ControlAppDomain = true)] public static AppDomain CreateDomain( string friendlyName, Evidence securityInfo, AppDomainSetup info )
Parameters
- friendlyName
- Type: System.String
The friendly name of the domain. This friendly name can be displayed in user interfaces to identify the domain. For more information, see FriendlyName.
- securityInfo
- Type: System.Security.Policy.Evidence

An object that contains application domain initialization information.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | friendlyName is null. |
If info is not supplied, this method overload uses the AppDomainSetup information from the default application domain.
If securityInfo is not supplied, the evidence from the current application domain is used.
 Important |
|---|
Do not use this method overload to create sandboxed application domains. Beginning with the .NET Framework 4, the evidence that is supplied for securityInfo no longer affects the grant set of the application domain. Use the CreateDomain(String, Evidence, AppDomainSetup, PermissionSet, StrongName[]) method overload to create sandboxed application domains. |
The following sample demonstrates, in general, how to create a domain using one of the CreateDomain overloads.
// Set up the AppDomainSetup AppDomainSetup setup = new AppDomainSetup(); setup.ApplicationBase = "(some directory)"; setup.ConfigurationFile = "(some file)"; // Set up the Evidence Evidence baseEvidence = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence; Evidence evidence = new Evidence(baseEvidence); evidence.AddAssembly("(some assembly)"); evidence.AddHost("(some host)"); // Create the AppDomain AppDomain newDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("newDomain", evidence, setup);
