Assembly.LoadFr om and custom Type Editor issues

I've got a plugin architecture system that calls LoadFrom to load the .dlls
in a specific folder and it works fine and dandy, imports everything, my code
can create objects from types found in the loaded .dlls

HOWEVER, One issue i've not been able to solve is that, in some of the
classes, I've got custom Type Editors that do not function when I try to edit
them via a PropertyGrid that is on my application's main form.

Whenever I create object from one of the plugged in .dlls and set it to the
property grid's selected object, trying to edit it does not produce the
correct type editor. This is especially the case with my custom collection
classes. Since most of them are inherited from ArrayList, I constantly get
the Object editor form.

Now here's the really wicked twist. If the plugins are set to references in
my project in vs.net, The correct editors will appear just fine.

I did some debugging by getting a type for one of my collections that uses a
custom editor, and wrote all the attributes from GetCustomAttrib utes method
and the System.Componen tModel.EditorAt tribute was still a recognized
attribute on the class, eliminating my thought that perhaps the attribute was
being lost during the LoadFrom.

I am totally baffled.

I have a class library where just about every class uses its static initializer to register with a central registry object in the same assembly. I am hoping for some sort of Assembly.Load event that I can handle to go through my assembly and invoke the static initializer on each relevant class. This way, everything that needs to be registered will be registered before the first request to the registry object. So my questions are:

Hello group. I have an app which can load "plugins" assemblies that are described in the registry (each registry entry gives the full path to the plugin ..dll file). The plugins may be anywhere on the disk. Each plugin defines a class which implements an interface known to the app. The main app loads the plugin with Assembly.LoadFrom and then uses Assembly.GetTypes() and Type.FindInterface to find the concrete types in the plugin that...

I have a .NET 2.0 application divided in two assemblies; the exe and a dll. The application generates a plugin-dll which is then loaded in a separate AppDomain (along with a second instance of my application dll). It's been working for months and now the it's not working from my application exe anymore but still working from NUnit when testing the dll. What could have changed in my exe? Some configuration thing in my VS2005 project?

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
