TopLevelSystemManager is might be used by a sub-app of that sub-app to get to its parent sub-app if they are both on the same version and not using loadForCompatibility (did you follow that?)
LoaderContext is available for those who really know what they are doing and need explicit control for some configuration we don’t support with the Marshall Plan, usually for controlling the policy file parameter. The marshall plan does not support re-using an appdom. LoadForCompatibility refreshes the loaderContext before each load. On 2/1/10 4:01 PM, "jamesfin" <[email protected]> wrote: And...
