It is an isolated region in which code runs inside of a process. One way to think of it is like a process sitting inside of your main process.

Each AppDomain exists within a process in total isolation, which allows you to run code safely with separate security, etc.

You can easily Google this to find out more.

I wouldn't call it total isolation. E.g. an unhandled exception will take down the process and any AppDomains in it. – Brian Rasmussen Jan 10 '11 at 19:11
