What is Application Domain

What is Application Domain

The logical and physical boundary created around every .NET application by the Common Language Runtime (CLR). The CLR can allow multiple .NET applications to be run in a single process by loading them into separate application domains. The CLR isolates each application domain from all other application domains and prevents the configuration, security, or stability of a running .NET applications from affecting other applications. Objects can only be moved between application domains by the use of remoting.

Steps to create Application Domain

To create a .NET application domain, complete the following steps.

1. To open the New .NET Project wizard, click File > New > .NET Project. Alternatively, in the Broker Development view, right-click within the navigator and click New > .NET Project.
2. Specify the name of the application domain to create.
3. Click Finish to create an empty application domain, or click Next to import .NET assemblies or other resources into the application domain from the file system. You also can drag and drop assemblies from the file system onto the application domain after closing the wizard.
4. To import .NET assemblies into the application domain, select a root directory and choose the assemblies or other resources that you want to import.
5. Click Finish.
