Examples
The following sample demonstrates using one of the overloads of ExecuteAssembly on two different domains.
int main()
{
AppDomain^ currentDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
AppDomain^ otherDomain = AppDomain::CreateDomain( "otherDomain" );
currentDomain->ExecuteAssembly( "MyExecutable.exe" );
// Prints S"MyExecutable running on [default]"
otherDomain->ExecuteAssembly( "MyExecutable.exe" );
// Prints S"MyExecutable running on otherDomain"
}
class ExecuteAssemblySnippet {
public static void Main() {
AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
AppDomain otherDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("otherDomain");
currentDomain.ExecuteAssembly("MyExecutable.exe");
// Prints "MyExecutable running on [default]"
otherDomain.ExecuteAssembly("MyExecutable.exe");
// Prints "MyExecutable running on otherDomain"
}
}
open System
let currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
let otherDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain "otherDomain"
currentDomain.ExecuteAssembly "MyExecutable.exe"
// Prints "MyExecutable running on [default]"
otherDomain.ExecuteAssembly "MyExecutable.exe"
// Prints "MyExecutable running on otherDomain"

Remarks
The assembly begins executing at the entry point specified in the .NET Framework header.
This method does not create a new process or application domain, and it does not execute the entry point method on a new thread.
This method loads assemblies using the LoadFile method. You can also execute assemblies using the ExecuteAssemblyByName method, which loads assemblies using the Load method.

Caution
Code Access Security (CAS) has been deprecated across all versions of .NET Framework and .NET. Recent versions of .NET do not honor CAS annotations and produce errors if CAS-related APIs are used. Developers should seek alternative means of accomplishing security tasks.
