Alok I want to execute two instances of a c# windows app exe in two different domains. If I simply execute the exe twice, the windows form does not seem to be showing twice as i would expect. However I think it should be possible if I execute the assembly in separate domains. Please let me know if it is possible. And if not then why its not possible. Thanks. Alok.

If you try to run the application in two different AppDomains inside the same process you may hit problems. The comments at the end of this post indicate some of the problems: http://weblogs.asp.net/asanto/archive/2003/05/21/7327.aspx If I remember correctly, calling Application.Exit in one domain took out all the AppDomains in the process if you are running v1.0 of .NET. (I've not tried it recently, so I'm not sure what happens in the current version. Also, if memory serves, the code in question had one Win32 thread that ended up participating in Windows Forms stuff in multiple AppDomains. You might have more luck if you used one thread per 'application'. But I'm not really sure - I'd avoid it to be honest.) [Original message clipped] Are you actually just running the EXE twice? Normally that works. If it doesn't, it's usually because the code has been written explicitly to prevent the application from being run more than once. If that's the case, explicitly creating multiple AppDomains isn't going to help you... -- Ian Griffiths - http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/ DevelopMentor - http://www.develop.com/ Reply to this message...     System.AppDomainSetup System.Windows.Forms.Application Ad MBR BootFX Best-of-breed application framework for .NET projects, developed by Matthew Baxter-Reynolds and MBR IT
