CPU and Memory Cap for an AppDomain

Question

I want to host an exe in an appdomain and assign a CPU and Memory cap to it so that it does not use more than the assigned processing power. Is this possible to do and how?

Answer 1

You can't cap the maximum memory directly, as far as I know.

However, from .NET 4 on, the memory currently allocated by an AppDomain is available in the AppDomain.MonitoringSurvivedMemorySize property if AppDomain.MonitoringIsEnabled is set to true. You can spin up a watchdog thread to monitor allocations.

Answer 2

Looks like there is a solution for this requirement in .NET 4.0
