Initializes a new instance of the HostingEnvironment class. |
Properties
ApplicationHost |
This property supports the ASP.NET infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. |
ApplicationID |
Gets the unique identifier of the application. |
ApplicationMonitors |
Gets a group of replaceable monitor objects used by ASP.NET subsystems to maintain application health. |
ApplicationPhysicalPath |
Gets the physical path on disk to the application's directory. |
ApplicationVirtualPath |
Gets the root virtual path of the application. |
Cache |
Gets the Cache instance for the current application. |
InClientBuildManager |
Gets a value that indicates whether the hosting environment has access to the ASP.NET build system. |
InitializationException |
Gets any exception thrown during initialization of the HostingEnvironment object. |
IsDevelopmentEnvironment |
Gets a value that indicates whether the current application is in a development environment. |
IsHosted |
Gets a value indicating whether the current application domain is being hosted by an ApplicationManager object. |
MaxConcurrentRequestsPerCPU |
Gets or sets the maximum concurrent requests per CPU. |
MaxConcurrentThreadsPerCPU |
Gets or sets the maximum concurrent threads per CPU. |
ShutdownReason |
Returns an enumerated value that indicates why the application terminated. |
SiteName |
Gets the name of the site. |
VirtualPathProvider |
Gets the virtual path provider for this application. |
Methods
CreateObjRef(Type) |
Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject) |
DecrementBusyCount() |
Reduces the count of busy objects in the hosted environment by one. |
Equals(Object) |
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
GetHashCode() |
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
GetLifetimeService() |
Obsolete.
Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject) |
GetType() |
Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
Impersonate() |
Impersonates the user represented by the application identity. |
Impersonate(IntPtr) |
Impersonates the user represented by the specified user token. |
Impersonate(IntPtr, String) |
Impersonates the user specified by the configuration settings for the specified virtual path, or the specified user token. |
IncrementBusyCount() |
Increases the count of busy objects in the hosted environment by one. |
InitializeLifetimeService() |
Gives the HostingEnvironment object an infinite lifetime by preventing a lease from being created. |
InitiateShutdown() |
Starts shutting down the web application associated with this host and removes registered objects from the system. |
MapPath(String) |
Maps a virtual path to a physical path on the server. |
MemberwiseClone() |
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object) |
MemberwiseClone(Boolean) |
Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject) |
MessageReceived() |
This method supports the ASP.NET infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. |
QueueBackgroundWorkItem(Action<CancellationToken>) |
Schedules a task which can run in the background, independent of any request. |
QueueBackgroundWorkItem(Func<CancellationToken,Task>) |
Schedules a task which can run in the background, independent of any request. |
RegisterObject(IRegisteredObject) |
Places an object in the list of registered objects for the application. |
RegisterVirtualPathProvider(VirtualPathProvider) |
Registers a new VirtualPathProvider instance with the ASP.NET compilation system. |
SetCultures() |
Sets the current thread to the culture specified in the application configuration file. |
SetCultures(String) |
Sets the current thread to the culture of the specified virtual path. |
ToString() |
Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
UnregisterObject(IRegisteredObject) |
Removes an object from the list of registered objects for the application. |
Events
