Parameters

domain

A AppDomain representing the application domain to be unloaded. [Edit]

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	domain is null. [Edit]
CannotUnloadAppDomainException	domain could not be unloaded. [Edit]

Remarks

If the thread that invoked AppDomain.Unload(AppDomain) is running in domain, another thread is started to perform the unload operation. If domain cannot be unloaded, a CannotUnloadAppDomainException is thrown in that thread, not the original thread that invoked AppDomain.Unload(AppDomain). However, if the thread that invoked AppDomain.Unload(AppDomain) is running outside domain, that is the thread that receives the exception.

The threads in domain are terminated using the System.Threading.Thread.Abort(object) method, which throws the thread an instance of System.Threading.ThreadAbortException.

Note: Although the thread should terminate promptly, it can continue executing for an unbounded amount of time in its finally clause.
