Get AppDomain for another .NET framework process

Question

I am trying to get the AppDomain for all the .NET Framework processes running on my machine. Any advice on how to do that?

Im not entirely clear on what you are trying to do, but if you want to enumerate all running AppDomains by attaching Visual Studio to a process, see this link: Jack Gudenkauf "Enumerating AppDomains"

In that same vein, if you want to do this AT RUNTIME (without Visual Studio) then you will probably need to include a managed debugger in your program which will allow you to 'attach' to another process. Take a look at the managed debugger example, this demonstrates a debugger, written in C#. It will then allow you to execute an 'extension' within the target application process, such as is done in Jack Gudenkauf's article. CLR Managed Debugger (mdbg) Sample
