What is AppDomain?Explain how it works...

Answer / murthy remella

AppDomain a eco system inside the IIS /ASP.NET worker
process, where CLR loads itself and executes the .NET code,
when we try to run a program written in .NET

AppDomain isolates the runtime environment of each
application from the other applications running on a
machine, it improves the application stability.

AppDomain maintains the context and shared resources and
allow all the user requests to use information while
request processing.

Answer / murthy remella

Its mandatory to create application domain for running
any .NET code. Its the light weight process in which CLR
will execute the code. AppDomain is built into Framework.

Generally regular application development doesn't require
AppDomain creation, but in some specific scenarios like
loading a component in seperate domain and unloading after
its purpose is served without stopping the entire
application.

ServiceHost Applications (IIS, ASP.NET worker) will handle
creation and management of appDomain in the background

Also, for each virtualdirectory/website one application
domain is created normally, which serves all the incoming
requests.But if you think the load is high and a single
appDomain is scalable then the application can use multiple
appdomains. (http://www.IIS.net for more details)

Answer / manjari anand

The common language runtime has been designed to support a
variety of different types of applications, from Web server
applications to applications with a traditional rich
Windows user interface. Each type of application requires a
runtime host to start it. The runtime host loads the
runtime into a process, creates the application domains
within the process, and loads user code into the
application domains.
Operating systems and runtime environments
typically provide some form of isolation between
applications. For example, Windows uses processes to
isolate applications. This isolation is necessary to ensure
that code running in one application cannot adversely
affect other, unrelated applications.
Application domains provide an isolation boundary for
security, reliability, and versioning, and for unloading
assemblies. Application domains are typically created by
runtime hosts.

You can run several application domains in a single process
with the same level of isolation that would exist in
separate processes.The ability to run multiple applications
within a single process dramatically increases server
scalability.
The isolation provided by application domains
has the following benefits:
• Faults in one application cannot affect other
applications. Because type-safe code cannot cause memory
faults, using application domains ensures that code running
in one domain cannot affect other applications in the
process.
• Individual applications can be stopped without
stopping the entire process. Using application domains
enables you to unload the code running in a single
application.
