AppDomain.DomainUnload never fired automatically

[VizOne]

Hi! In my app I'd like to execute some code when an AppDomain is unloaded. I expected AppDomain.DomainUnload to be suitable for this, however the event never gets raised automatically - only if I call AppDomain.Unload with that AppDomain. Example:

class Class1
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// subscribe to current domain
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DomainUnload += new EventHandler(CurrentDomain_DomainUnload);

	// and for testing to another domain:

	AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("Test");
	domain.DomainUnload += new EventHandler(CurrentDomain\_DomainUnload);

    // if I uncomment this, the event is fired for 'domain':
	//AppDomain.Unload(domain);
}

public static void CurrentDomain\_DomainUnload(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Unloading appdomain");
	AppDomain domain = sender as AppDomain;
	if(domain != null)
		Console.WriteLine("... unloading domain is: " + domain.FriendlyName);
}

}

I find this quite irritating. How can I implement some kind of per-AppDomain shutdown function? Thanks in advance. Regards, Andre Loker

What about the ProcessExited event?

ProcessExited only works for the main AppDomain (and even then, I find strange bevahvior to occur). Regards, Andre
