Extremely confusing AppDomain documentation. Outdated?

[thomaslevesque]

Type of issue

Outdated article

Description

Even though .NET 8 is selected as the version, the page seems to contain information on how to use AppDomain on .NET Framework. For instance, this is not true in .NET 8 (and hasn't been true since .NET Core):

Multiple application domains can run in a single process

Also, the example code might work on .NET Framework, but not on .NET 8. There's no public constructor for AppDomainSetup, so the code doesn't even compile.

It looks like the content hasn't been updated at all, except that some members are shown as obsolete. There's a warning about .NET Core, but it's not clear at all from the docs that the whole thing doesn't work on .NET 8.
