Lets look at the code to enumerate Modules in each App Domain. But first questions, what is AppDomain?

Application domain or AppDomain is nothing but a logical region where .NET runtime runs and execute code. It provides security and isolation for executing managed code. We can use application domain to isolate any task that might bring down process.

This is specially useful when you create your own custom AppDomain and would like to see if your code is loading the necessary modules in that AppDomain itself. Keep in mind the below code only enumerates the AppDomain for the first loaded CLR runtime.

Code to get Modules under each AppDomain

using DataTarget dataTarget = DataTarget.LoadDump(args[0]);
ClrRuntime runtime = dataTarget.ClrVersions[0].CreateRuntime();

foreach (ClrAppDomain domain in runtime.AppDomains)
{
	Console.WriteLine("\n>>> AppDomain");
	Console.WriteLine("ID.....: {0}", domain.Id);
	Console.WriteLine("Name...: {0}", domain.Name);
	Console.WriteLine("Address: {0:x16}", domain.Address);


	Console.WriteLine("\t{0,16} {1,16} {2}", "Assembly", "Module", "Module Name");
	foreach (ClrModule module in domain.Modules)
	{
		Console.WriteLine("\t{0:x16} {1:x16} {2}",
			module.AssemblyAddress, module.Address,
			string.IsNullOrEmpty(module.Name) ? "[Dynamic Module]" : module.Name);
	}
	Console.WriteLine();
}

How the output of the above code looks like

>>> AppDomain
ID.....: 1
Name...: clrhost
Address: 000001d13e0423c0
        Assembly           Module Module Name
