AppDomain.DoCallBack Method (System)

.NET Framework Class Library

AppDomain.DoCallBack Method

Executes the code in another application domain that is identified by the specified delegate.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Sub DoCallBack ( _
    callBackDelegate As CrossAppDomainDelegate _
)

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As AppDomain
Dim callBackDelegate As CrossAppDomainDelegate

instance.DoCallBack(callBackDelegate)

public void DoCallBack (
    CrossAppDomainDelegate callBackDelegate
)

C++

public:
virtual void DoCallBack (
    CrossAppDomainDelegate^ callBackDelegate
) sealed

public final void DoCallBack (
    CrossAppDomainDelegate callBackDelegate
)

JScript

public final function DoCallBack (
    callBackDelegate : CrossAppDomainDelegate
)

Parameters

callBackDelegate: A delegate that specifies a method to call.

Remarks

callBackDelegate can specify a marshal-by-value, MarshalByRefObject, or ContextBoundObject.

Example

The following sample demonstrates using a static DoCallBack method.

Visual Basic

Public Module PingPong

   Private greetings As String = "PONG!"
   
   Sub Main()
      Dim currentDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
      Dim otherDomain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("otherDomain")
      
      greetings = "PING!"

      MyCallBack()
      otherDomain.DoCallBack(AddressOf MyCallBack)

      ' Output:
      '   PING! from default domain
      '   PONG! from otherDomain
   End Sub 'Main
   
   Sub MyCallBack()
      Dim name As String = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName
      Console.WriteLine(greetings + " from " + name)
   End Sub 'MyCallBack

End Module 'PingPong

static string greetings = "PONG!";

public static void Main() {
   AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
   AppDomain otherDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("otherDomain");

   greetings = "PING!";

   MyCallBack();
   otherDomain.DoCallBack(new CrossAppDomainDelegate(MyCallBack));

   // Output:
   //   PING! from default domain
   //   PONG! from otherDomain
}

static public void MyCallBack() {
   string name = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName;
   Console.WriteLine(greetings + " from " + name);
}

C++

public ref class PingPong
{
private:
   static String^ greetings = "PONG!";

public:
   static void MyCallBack()
   {
      String^ name = AppDomain::CurrentDomain->FriendlyName;
      Console::WriteLine(  "{0} from {1}", greetings, name );
   }

   static void Ping()
   {
      AppDomain^ currentDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
      AppDomain^ otherDomain = AppDomain::CreateDomain( "otherDomain" );
      greetings = "PING!";
      MyCallBack();
      otherDomain->DoCallBack( gcnew CrossAppDomainDelegate( MyCallBack ) );
      
      // Output:
      //   PING! from default domain
      //   PONG! from otherDomain
   }

};

int main()
{
   PingPong::Ping();
}

private static String greetings = "PONG!";

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.get_CurrentDomain();
    AppDomain otherDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("otherDomain");
    greetings = "PING!";
    MyCallBack();
    otherDomain.DoCallBack(new CrossAppDomainDelegate(MyCallBack));
    // Output:
    // PING! from default domain
    // PONG! from otherDomain
} //main
   
public static void MyCallBack()
{
    String name = AppDomain.get_CurrentDomain().get_FriendlyName();
    Console.WriteLine(greetings + " from " + name);
} //MyCallBack

The following sample demonstrates using the DoCallBack method by value.
