I want to execute two instances of a c# windows app exe in two different
domains.
If I simply execute the exe twice, the windows form does not seem to be
showing twice as i would expect.
However I think it should be possible if I execute the assembly in separate
domains.

Please let me know if it is possible. And if not then why its not possible.

Thanks.
Alok.

The best way to do this is to run them in two different processes.

If you try to run the application in two different AppDomains inside the
same process you may hit problems. The comments at the end of this post
indicate some of the problems:

If I remember correctly, calling Application.Exit in one domain took out all
the AppDomains in the process if you are running v1.0 of .NET. (I've not
tried it recently, so I'm not sure what happens in the current version.
Also, if memory serves, the code in question had one Win32 thread that ended
up participating in Windows Forms stuff in multiple AppDomains. You might
have more luck if you used one thread per 'application'. But I'm not really
sure - I'd avoid it to be honest.)

Are you actually just running the EXE twice? Normally that works. If it
doesn't, it's usually because the code has been written explicitly to
prevent the application from being run more than once. If that's the case,
explicitly creating multiple AppDomains isn't going to help you...
