AppDomain::CreateDomain Method (String^, Evidence^, AppDomainSetup^)

.NET Framework (current version)

Other Versions

Creates a new application domain using the specified name, evidence, and application domain setup information.

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

Syntax

C++

public:
[SecurityPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::Demand, ControlAppDomain = true)]
static AppDomain^ CreateDomain(
	String^ friendlyName,
	Evidence^ securityInfo,
	AppDomainSetup^ info
)

Parameters

friendlyName: Type: System::String^
The friendly name of the domain. This friendly name can be displayed in user interfaces to identify the domain. For more information, see FriendlyName.

securityInfo: Type: System.Security.Policy::Evidence^
Evidence that establishes the identity of the code that runs in the application domain. Pass null to use the evidence of the current application domain.

info: Type: System::AppDomainSetup^
An object that contains application domain initialization information.

Return Value

Type: System::AppDomain^

The newly created application domain.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	friendlyName is null.

Remarks

If info is not supplied, this method overload uses the AppDomainSetup information from the default application domain.

If securityInfo is not supplied, the evidence from the current application domain is used.

Important
Do not use this method overload to create sandboxed application domains. Beginning with the .NET Framework 4, the evidence that is supplied for securityInfo no longer affects the grant set of the application domain. Use the CreateDomain(String^, Evidence^, AppDomainSetup^, PermissionSet^, array<StrongName^>^) method overload to create sandboxed application domains.

Examples

The following sample demonstrates, in general, how to create a domain using one of the CreateDomain overloads.

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)" );

// Create the AppDomain
AppDomain^ newDomain = AppDomain::CreateDomain( "newDomain", evidence, setup );
