Loading an assembly not in the GAC

Hi,

I'm working on a client\server project and I would like the client to
be able to check the server to see if it requires a new dll (all of
the dlls are based on a single interface).. if so it should download
it and load it..

Is there any way of loading an assembly that is not in the GAC, or is
there a way for the client to programatically register the assembly in
the GAC?

Thanks for your help

It's ok, I figured it out, you just use Assembly.LoadFr om() instead of
Assembly.Load()

There are problems related to using loadfrom. This link describes some
problems and ways to work around them.

Hello, I'm trying to load an assembly dynamically using an app domain. This is a proof-of-concept for a larger project, so please excuse the lame class names. TestLib is the dll where all the dynamic loading code will go. The assemblies being dynamically loaded do not contain any code. They are resource-only assemblies. I have succeeded in dynamically loading them within the same AppDomain as the main application (a Winforms EXE that...

I wan't to be able to deserialize a class from an assembly that is not in the application domain. To do that I must have the Type from the Assembly. How do you get a Type from an assembly that is not in the manifest of the current AppDomain. I have tried different ways but get exceptions from all of them that say the: assembly or one of its dependancies could not be found. There must be missing something.

Hi, I'm currently writing a Web Services that interacts with a database. To allow me to use not just one database provider (for example, I could use MS Access, SQL Server or MySQL), the Web Service dynamically loads up an assembly that implements an Interface I called IDatabase.

I'm confused about what precisely the limitations are on loading plugins in separate app domains. In all my previous apps that supported plugins, I've loaded them into the same domain as the app, but I've just started playing around with separate AppDomains and I'm finding that I'm not having problems where I expected I would, so maybe someone can help me understand a bit better. I've read that objects instantiated in separate AppDomains...

I've looked through the previous posts on this one and have verified permissions and location of my Dlls, but I am still getting an exception when I try to Load an assembly. The directory where my Dlls are located give the ASPNET user full control, and all Dlls used by the Assembly in question are in the local folder with the rest of the web application Dlls. Could someone take a look at my error and shed some light on this?

Hello all, When dynamically loading classes through reflection using Assembly.LoadFrom I have the following questions: 1) Once you load an assembly it doesn't appear you can unload it.
