JScript
public static function CreateDomain(
    friendlyName : String, 
    securityInfo : Evidence, 
    info : AppDomainSetup, 
    grantSet : PermissionSet, 
    ... fullTrustAssemblies : StrongName[]
) : AppDomain

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 the description of 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.
info
Type: System..::.AppDomainSetup
An object that contains application domain initialization information.
grantSet
Type: System.Security..::.PermissionSet
A default permission set that is granted to all assemblies loaded into the new application domain that do not have specific grants.
fullTrustAssemblies
Type: array<System.Security.Policy..::.StrongName>[]()[]
An array of strong names representing assemblies to be considered fully trusted in the new application domain.

Return Value

Type: System..::.AppDomain
The newly created application domain.
ExceptionCondition
ArgumentNullException

friendlyName is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

InvalidOperationException

The application domain is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

If securityInfo is not supplied, the evidence from the current application domain is used.

The information provided for grantSet and fullTrustAssemblies is used to create an ApplicationTrust object for the new application domain.

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.
