Property Value

Type: System::String^

The friendly name of this application domain.

Implements

_AppDomain::FriendlyName

Exception Condition
AppDomainUnloadedException

The operation is attempted on an unloaded application domain.

The friendly name of the default application domain is the file name of the process executable. For example, if the executable used to start the process is "c:\MyAppDirectory\MyAssembly.exe", the friendly name of the default application domain is "MyAssembly.exe".

The following code example uses the FriendlyName property to get the friendly name of the current application domain. For the default application domain, the friendly name is the name of the application's executable file. The code example also displays additional information about the application domain.

C#
C++
VB
Copy 
using namespace System;

int main()
{
    AppDomain^ root = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;

    AppDomainSetup^ setup = gcnew AppDomainSetup();
    setup->ApplicationBase = 
        root->SetupInformation->ApplicationBase + "MyAppSubfolder\\";

    AppDomain^ domain = AppDomain::CreateDomain("MyDomain", nullptr, setup);

    Console::WriteLine("Application base of {0}:\r\n\t{1}", 
        root->FriendlyName, root->SetupInformation->ApplicationBase);
    Console::WriteLine("Application base of {0}:\r\n\t{1}", 
        domain->FriendlyName, domain->SetupInformation->ApplicationBase);

    AppDomain::Unload(domain);
}

/* This example produces output similar to the following:

Application base of MyApp.exe:
        C:\Program Files\MyApp\
Application base of MyDomain:
        C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyAppSubfolder\
