I have a "homegrown" dll that I am using in IIS (VBScript). I need to
replace it on a production server, but I don't want to stop/restart server
in order to replace the dll.
Possible?

No.

Nope, the DLL will remain in memory as long as the IIS services remain
running.

Usually no, it is not possible.
If you configure your application to run in isolated mode (High security),
you will sometimes be able to unload the application in order to unregister,
replace and register a dll. But this does not always work.

Right. I have found that "unloading" the application does allow me to
replace the dll, but when I click the "unload"
button I get the "all applications in the application pool will be stopped"
(paraphrased). What is the definition of the "applicatio n pool". IOW, will
this stop OTHER applications running on the server?

in case it wasn't clear, you dont have to reboot the server, just
stop/restart the IIS service.

I'm not sure: I've never seen that message. You may want to ask on the iis

You might have better luck if, instead of paraphrasing, you actually tell us
the actual message you actually received. Then, we could search for the
error message and do a bit of research. With a paraphrase, we have no idea
what to look for.

So you're using Server 2003, right? In that case, you ought to be able to
cycle the application pool. With any luck, this application has been set up
with its own application pool, so cycling it does not require interruption
of the rest of your web apps.
-- Windows Server 2003 only --
• Open IIS Manager
• Navigate to your web application
• View its properties to determine the application pool it is running under
• Expand Application Pools
• Right-click on appropriate one and select [Recycle]

Ugh. I hate when people don't answer the question at hand. The answer is a
big "it depends". The good news is that you can usually make it a "no" even
as you isolate it for future use. If the app is in a shared application pool
(which it will be by default), you can simply create an application pool and
reassign that pool to the application you want to cycle.
So...in principle, you should be able to change that DLL without
interrupting the other apps. In principle, anyway.

Hi everybody.
I load an assembly into another AppDomain, not a default one. As there is no

The problem is this assembly has references to one dll, currently not
performing any work.
I tried this:

Hi there. There are various snippets on forums regarding issues with
AppDomain.Unload and how it just doesnt work.
Fortunately, I got it working with the base case, after much fiddling.
Consider this 5 line program:

domain.CreateInstance("TempDLL", "TempDLL.Class1");

I have an application that includes an activex component

I have this DllImport attribute on an external C++ dll. What i am noticing that the dll isn't unloaded after the static

Is there a way i can force this to unload or will i have to use loadlibrary?
