Creates a new application domain with the given name, using evidence, application base path, relative search path, and a parameter that specifies whether a shadow copy of an assembly is to be loaded into the application domain.

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
Evidence mapped through the security policy to establish a top-of-stack permission set. Pass nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) to use the evidence of the current application domain.
- appBasePath
- Type: System..::.String
The base directory that the assembly resolver uses to probe for assemblies. For more information, see BaseDirectory.
- appRelativeSearchPath
- Type: System..::.String
The path relative to the base directory where the assembly resolver should probe for private assemblies. For more information, see RelativeSearchPath.
- shadowCopyFiles
- Type: System..::.Boolean
If true, a shadow copy of an assembly is loaded into this application domain. For more information, see ShadowCopyFiles and Shadow Copying Assemblies.
| Exception | Condition |

| ArgumentNullException |
friendlyName is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
If securityInfo is not supplied, the evidence from the current application domain is used.
If the current application domain has an empty Evidence, SecurityException is thrown when creating a new application domain and passing nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) for securityInfo. An empty Evidence always results in an empty grant set. For example, a default application domain can have an empty Evidence if it is created from unmanaged code.
The following sample demonstrates, in general, how to create a domain using one of the CreateDomain overloads.
' Set up the AppDomainSetup
Dim setup As New AppDomainSetup()
setup.ApplicationBase = "(some directory)"
setup.ConfigurationFile = "(some file)"
' Set up the Evidence
Dim baseEvidence As Evidence = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence
Dim evidence As New Evidence(baseEvidence)
evidence.AddAssembly("(some assembly)")
evidence.AddHost("(some host)")
' Create the AppDomain
Dim newDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("newDomain", evidence, setup)
// 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);
// Set up the AppDomainSetup
AppDomainSetup^ setup = gcnew AppDomainSetup;
setup->ApplicationBase = "(some directory)";
setup->ConfigurationFile = "(some file)";
// Set up the Evidence
Evidence^ baseEvidence = AppDomain::CurrentDomain->Evidence;
Evidence^ evidence = gcnew Evidence( baseEvidence );
evidence->AddAssembly( "(some assembly)" );
evidence->AddHost( "(some host)" );
// Create the AppDomain
AppDomain^ newDomain = AppDomain::CreateDomain( "newDomain", evidence, setup );
