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.
Class ADSetupInformation Shared Sub Main() Dim root As AppDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain Dim setup As New AppDomainSetup() setup.ApplicationBase = _ root.SetupInformation.ApplicationBase & "MyAppSubfolder\" Dim domain As AppDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("MyDomain", Nothing, setup) Console.WriteLine("Application base of {0}:" & vbCrLf & vbTab & "{1}", _ root.FriendlyName, root.SetupInformation.ApplicationBase) Console.WriteLine("Application base of {0}:" & vbCrLf & vbTab & "{1}", _ domain.FriendlyName, domain.SetupInformation.ApplicationBase) AppDomain.Unload(domain) End Sub End Class ' 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\
