Hi,
I have developed an application that uses mixed C++ to integrate managed
.NET applications with an unmanaged C++ application whose behaviour I cannot
change.

The unmanaged C++ application uses the Win32 API's CreateThread fn to create
a thread that listens for requests. These requests then call into the mixed
C++ code. This all works fine when the application lives in the same app
domain.

However, in an environment such as IIS where the application lives in its
own app domain there is a problem because the thread that is being created in
the unmanaged code is using the default app domain and so cannot use the
objects created in the application's app domain. Is there anyway to get these
threads to use the applications app domain rather than the default app domain?

In my opinion this behaviour is a bug, I thought that the whole idea of an
app domain was to create a sandbox where by the main application (in this
case IIS) could run numerous applications without having to worry about their
behaviour. Yet using this method I have a thread running in the default app
domain which I assume would have the capability to bring down IIS.
