System.Web.Hosting Namespace

The System.Web.Hosting namespace provides the functionality for hosting ASP.NET applications from managed applications outside Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).

Classes

	Class	Description
	AppDomainFactory	Infrastructure. Creates a new AppDomain instance for the Web application. This class cannot be inherited. This class was used by earlier versions of the .NET Framework than version 2.0, which uses the AppManagerAppDomainFactory class instead.
	AppDomainInfo	Infrastructure. Provides information about the application domain.
	AppDomainInfoEnum	Infrastructure. Provides access to an application domain.
	AppDomainProtocolHandler	Infrastructure. Provides support for programmatic access to application domain protocols.
	ApplicationHost	Enables hosting of ASP.NET pages outside the Internet Information Services (IIS) application. This class enables the host to create application domains for processing ASP.NET requests.
	ApplicationInfo	Provides information about a running application. This class cannot be inherited.
	ApplicationManager	Manages ASP.NET application domains for an ASP.NET hosting application.
	AppManagerAppDomainFactory	Infrastructure. Creates and stops application domains for a Web-application manager. This class cannot be inherited.
	HostingEnvironment	Provides application-management functions and application services to a managed application within its application domain. This class cannot be inherited.
	ISAPIRuntime	Infrastructure. Manages HttpWorkerRequest objects in the .NET Framework. This class cannot be inherited.
	ProcessHost	Infrastructure. Represents a process host.
	ProcessHostFactoryHelper	Infrastructure. Provides a method to retrieve an IProcessHost interface.
	ProcessProtocolHandler	Infrastructure. Provides support for protocol handlers.
	SimpleWorkerRequest	Provides a simple implementation of the HttpWorkerRequest abstract class that can be used to host ASP.NET applications outside an Internet Information Services (IIS) application. You can employ SimpleWorkerRequest directly or extend it.
	VirtualDirectory	Represents a directory object in a virtual file or resource space.
	VirtualFile	Represents a file object in a virtual file or resource space.
	VirtualFileBase	Provides the core implementation for the VirtualFile and VirtualDirectory objects. An abstract class, it cannot be instantiated.
	VirtualPathProvider	Provides a set of methods that enable a Web application to retrieve resources from a virtual file system.

Interfaces

	Interface	Description
	IAdphManager	Infrastructure. Manages an application domain protocol handler
	IAppDomainFactory	Infrastructure. Defines a single method to create a new AppDomain instance for a Web application. This interface was used by .NET Framework versions earlier than 2.0; version 2.0 uses the IAppManagerAppDomainFactory interface instead.
	IAppDomainInfo	Infrastructure. Provides information about the application domain.
	IAppDomainInfoEnum	Infrastructure. Provides access to an application domain.
	IApplicationHost	Infrastructure. Retrieves information about the application host.
	IAppManagerAppDomainFactory	Infrastructure. Defines a method used to create an AppDomain instance for a Web-application manager and a method used to stop all AppDomain instances for a Web-application manager.
	IISAPIRuntime	Infrastructure. Defines methods used to create HttpWorkerRequest objects in the .NET Framework.
	IListenerChannelCallback	Infrastructure. Provides listener-channel notifications from protocol handlers to the worker process framework. Also enables protocol handlers to access additional parameters, such as the ID of the listener channel.
	IPphManager	Infrastructure. Provides stop and start control of listener channels.
	IProcessHost	Infrastructure. Defines the set of process-wide functionality that every host of the application manager must implement.
	IProcessHostFactoryHelper	Infrastructure. Provides a method to retrieve an IProcessHost interface.
	IProcessHostIdleAndHealthCheck	Infrastructure. Provides ways to check on the state of a process.
	IProcessHostSupportFunctions	Infrastructure. Provides helper functions for the process host.
	IProcessPingCallback	Infrastructure. Provides functionality to respond to a ping request.
	IRegisteredObject	Defines methods for objects that are managed by the hosting environment.
