Class	Description
AppDomain	Represents an application domain, which is an isolated environment where applications execute. This class cannot be inherited.

Application domains, which are represented by AppDomain objects, provide isolation, unloading, and security boundaries for executing managed code.

Multiple application domains can run in a single process; however, there is not a one-to-one correlation between application domains and threads. Several threads can belong to a single application domain, and while a given thread is not confined to a single application domain, at any given time, a thread executes in a single application domain.

Application domains are created using the CreateDomain method. AppDomain instances are used to load and execute assemblies ( Assembly ). When a AppDomain is no longer in use, it can be unloaded.

The _AppDomain interface implements a set of events to enable applications to respond when an assembly is loaded, an application domain will be unloaded, or an unhandled exception is thrown.
