AppDomain.CurrentDomain Property
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets the current application domain for the current Thread.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The following example shows how to use the CurrentDomain property when you create a dynamic assembly in the current application domain.
using System; using System.Reflection; using System.Reflection.Emit; class Example { public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock) { // In this version of the runtime, an assembly consists of one // module which contains zero or more types. This example // creates an assembly containing one public type named // "MyDynamicType". The type has a private field, a property // that gets and sets the private field, constructors that // initialize the private field, and a method that multiplies // a user-supplied number by the private field value and returns // the result. In C# the type might look like this: /* public class MyDynamicType { private int m_number; public MyDynamicType() : this(42) {} public MyDynamicType(int initNumber) { m_number = initNumber; } public int Number { get { return m_number; } set { m_number = value; } } public int MyMethod(int multiplier) { return m_number * multiplier; } } */ AssemblyName aName = new AssemblyName("DynamicAssemblyExample"); AssemblyBuilder ab = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly( aName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run); // Create the module. ModuleBuilder mb = ab.DefineDynamicModule(aName.Name); TypeBuilder tb = mb.DefineType( "MyDynamicType", TypeAttributes.Public); // Add a private field of type int (Int32). FieldBuilder fbNumber = tb.DefineField( "m_number", typeof(int), FieldAttributes.Private); // Define a constructor that takes an integer argument and // stores it in the private field. Type[] parameterTypes = { typeof(int) }; ConstructorBuilder ctor1 = tb.DefineConstructor( MethodAttributes.Public, CallingConventions.Standard, parameterTypes); ILGenerator ctor1IL = ctor1.GetILGenerator(); // For a constructor, argument zero is a reference to the new // instance. Push it on the stack before calling the base // class constructor.
