The following code example shows a possible implementation for a custom host. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ITextTemplatingEngineHost interface.
public AppDomain ProvideTemplatingAppDomain(string content)
{
//this host will provide a new application domain each time the
//engine processes a text template
//-------------------------------------------------------------
return AppDomain.CreateDomain("Generation App Domain");
//this could be changed to return the current appdomain, but new
//assemblies are loaded into this AppDomain on a regular basis
//if the AppDomain lasts too long, it will grow indefintely
//which might be regarded as a leak
//this could be customized to cache the application domain for
//a certain number of text template generations (for example 10)
//this could be customized based on the contents of the text
//template, which are provided as a parameter for that purpose
}
