public void DoCallBack(
	CrossAppDomainDelegate callBackDelegate
)

Parameters

callBackDelegate: Type: System.CrossAppDomainDelegate
A delegate that specifies a method to call.

Implements

_AppDomain.DoCallBack(CrossAppDomainDelegate)

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	callBackDelegate is null.

Examples

The following sample demonstrates using a static DoCallBack method.

C++

Copy


static string greetings = "PONG!";

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

    greetings = "PING!";
    MyCallBack();
    otherDomain.DoCallBack(new CrossAppDomainDelegate(MyCallBack));

    // Output:
    //   PING! from defaultDomain
    //   PONG! from otherDomain
}

static public void MyCallBack()
{
    string name = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName;

    if (name == AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationName)
    {
        name = "defaultDomain";
    }
    Console.WriteLine(greetings + " from " + name);
}

The following sample demonstrates using the DoCallBack method by value.

C++

Copy


[Serializable]
public class PingPong
{
    private string greetings = "PING!";

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

        PingPong pp = new PingPong();
        pp.MyCallBack();
        pp.greetings = "PONG!";
        otherDomain.DoCallBack(new CrossAppDomainDelegate(pp.MyCallBack));

        // Output:
        //   PING! from defaultDomain
        //   PONG! from otherDomain
    }

    public void MyCallBack()
    {
        string name = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName;

        if (name == AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationName)
        {
            name = "defaultDomain";
        }
        Console.WriteLine(greetings + " from " + name);
    }
}

The following sample demonstrates using the DoCallBack method by reference.

C++

Copy


public class PingPong : MarshalByRefObject
{
    private string greetings = "PING!";

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

        PingPong pp = new PingPong();
        pp.MyCallBack();
        pp.greetings = "PONG!";
        otherDomain.DoCallBack(new CrossAppDomainDelegate(pp.MyCallBack));

        // Output:
        //   PING! from defaultDomain
        //   PONG! from defaultDomain
    }

    // Callback will always execute within defaultDomain due to inheritance from
    // MarshalByRefObject
    public void MyCallBack()
    {
        string name = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName;
        if (name == AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ApplicationName)
        {
            name = "defaultDomain";
        }
        Console.WriteLine(greetings + " from " + name);
    }
}
