    Scoping is the process in which the scope of a member is determined. For example, you may have noticed that you can select a block of text in VS.NET and then press the Ctrl-F key to perform a find-and-replace operation on that block of selected text ONLY. This is possible via a process called scoping. VS.NET knows to search for and replace text that you have selected - the text has been scoped via scoping. It's the process of "grouping" a related set of data.

    Scoping also refers to the scope of code within brackets, for C#. Any code outside of the brackets in C# is "out of scope".

    Now, "activation scoping" probably refers the CLR's ability to uniquely identify activated assemblies in memory.

    Just remember that "activation" most likely refers to the Just-in-time compiler (Jitter) ability to "activate" an assembly and/or type and that "scoping" most likely refers to a logical "grouping" of data.

    I'm not aware of such a term.  Where did you find this used in the documentation and what was the documentation covering at the time
