Examples

The following code example shows how to unload an application domain.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Security::Policy;

//for evidence Object*
int main()
{
   
   //Create evidence for the new appdomain.
   Evidence^ adevidence = AppDomain::CurrentDomain->Evidence;
   
   // Create the new application domain.
   AppDomain^ domain = AppDomain::CreateDomain( "MyDomain", adevidence );
   Console::WriteLine( "Host domain: {0}", AppDomain::CurrentDomain->FriendlyName );
   Console::WriteLine( "child domain: {0}", domain->FriendlyName );
   
   // Unload the application domain.
   AppDomain::Unload( domain );
   try
   {
      Console::WriteLine();
      
      // Note that the following statement creates an exception because the domain no longer exists.
      Console::WriteLine( "child domain: {0}", domain->FriendlyName );
   }
   catch ( AppDomainUnloadedException^ /*e*/ ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "The appdomain MyDomain does not exist." );
   }

}

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Security.Policy;
class ADUnload
{
    public static void Main()
    {

        //Create evidence for the new appdomain.
        Evidence adevidence = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence;

        // Create the new application domain.
        AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("MyDomain", adevidence);

                Console.WriteLine("Host domain: " + AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName);
                Console.WriteLine("child domain: " + domain.FriendlyName);
        // Unload the application domain.
        AppDomain.Unload(domain);

        try
        {
        Console.WriteLine();
        // Note that the following statement creates an exception because the domain no longer exists.
                Console.WriteLine("child domain: " + domain.FriendlyName);
        }

        catch (AppDomainUnloadedException e)
        {
        Console.WriteLine("The appdomain MyDomain does not exist.");
        }
    }
}

open System

//Create evidence for the new appdomain.
let adevidence = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence

// Create the new application domain.
let domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("MyDomain", adevidence)

printfn $"Host domain: {AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName}"

// Unload the application domain.
AppDomain.Unload domain

try
    printfn ""
    // Note that the following statement creates an exception because the domain no longer exists.
    printfn $"child domain: {domain.FriendlyName}"

with :? AppDomainUnloadedException ->
    printfn "The appdomain MyDomain does not exist."

Remarks

In .NET Framework version 2.0 and later, there is a thread dedicated to unloading application domains. This improves reliability, especially when .NET Framework is hosted. When a thread calls Unload, the target domain is marked for unloading. The dedicated thread attempts to unload the domain, and all threads in the domain are aborted. If a thread does not abort, for example because it is executing unmanaged code, or because it is executing a finally block, then after a period of time, a CannotUnloadAppDomainException is thrown in the thread that originally called Unload. If the thread that could not be aborted eventually ends, the target domain is not unloaded. Thus, in .NET Framework version 2.0 and later, domain is not guaranteed to unload, because it might not be possible to terminate executing threads.

The threads in domain are terminated using the Abort method, which throws a ThreadAbortException in the thread. Although the thread should terminate promptly, it can continue executing for an unpredictable amount of time in a finally clause.
