C++

// Set up the AppDomainSetup
AppDomainSetup^ setup = gcnew AppDomainSetup;
setup->ApplicationBase = "(some directory)";
setup->ConfigurationFile = "(some file)";

// Set up the Evidence
Evidence^ baseEvidence = AppDomain::CurrentDomain->Evidence;
Evidence^ evidence = gcnew Evidence( baseEvidence );
evidence->AddAssembly( "(some assembly)" );
evidence->AddHost( "(some host)" );
