A DomainLocalBlock is a collection of per-appdomain data - Assembly::Init() in clr\src\vm\assembly.cpp refers to it as "DLS" - Domain Local Storage. Kind of like Windows Thread Local Storage (TLS), but per-appdomain. All of its methods deal with module names and indices into a per-appdomain list of modules.
So an AppDomain contains a DomainLocalBlock, listing the modules loaded by the appdomain.

I am trying to understand the correlation between the AppDomain stuff and the execution engine. I saw that the AppDomains were using some DomainLocalBlock and DomainLocalClass classes internally. What exactly are these classes supposed to do? What's the relationship between a DomainLocalClass and an EEClass? Also, I saw some DLSRecord things in the AppDomain impl. what do they mean as well? I have spent several hours on these stuff but had little luck. Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Allan --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
