The following is a basic example of how this system works:
C:\MyApp\Applic ation1.exe
C:\MyApp\MyMoni tor.exe
In SQL Server, we keep an EXE (Application1.e xe) file stored as
binary.
I read this out of SQL Server into a byte[] array (through
MyMonitor.exe) and then pass to a function for Version.
Here's the kicker.. As soon as the function loads the binary image
retreieved from SQL Server, it *locks* the local "Application1.e xe"
running out of the same directory.
I'm puzzled by 2 things:
1) why does the local Application1.ex e get locked when I'm loading a
secondary app domain with a byte array from SQL?
2) Let's say technically it's a bug, and it's using the
"Application1.e xe" from the local folder--then why is it not released
when I unload the secondary application domain?
When I terminate "MyMonitor. exe" I can then copy a newer build over
the existing "Application1.e xe" file. If I comment out the section
that deals with loading the Byte[] array, I can copy a newer build
over the existing file. However, my design is flawed in some way or
this is a bug.
Any help appreciated.
Here's the GetAssemblyVers ion Function:
pprivate string GetAssemblyVers ion(byte[] inBytes)
{
string strVersion = "";
try
{
AppDomain secDomain = AppDomain.Creat eDomain("Second aryDomain",
null, null);
int iStart = 0;
int iStop = 0;
secDomain.Load( inBytes);
Assembly[] oList = secDomain.GetAs semblies();
iStart = oList[0].FullName.Index Of("Version") + 8;
iStop = oList[0].FullName.Index Of(",", iStart);
strVersion = oList[0].FullName.Subst ring(iStart, (iStop - iStart));
AppDomain.Unloa d(secDomain);
}
catch (Exception e1)
{
MessageBox.Show ("Error encountered Reading Assembly Info: " +
e1.ToString());
}
return strVersion;
} 1 2486
You have to load the assembly from within the context of the 2nd appdomain -
in your snippet you are loading it while executing in the default appdomain.
You need to create a class derived from MarshalByRefObj and call a method in
it that will actually load the assembly. Do not pass a reference back to the
default appdomain because that will force it to load the assembly in that
appdomain.
This link explains this and has sample code on how to do it. http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/clr/AppdomainFAQ.aspx
Another option is write code that will examine the bytes that make up the PE
file header info and parse it yourself.

I have a scenario where I've created another AppDomain to dynamically load a DLL(s) into. In this newly loaded DLL I want to call a static method on a class. The problem arise is that I have the same class/static method definition statictly linked to my EXE and when I call InvokeMember(...), even though I got the Type from the new AppDomain, it calls the static method that I am staticly linked to and not the static method in the dynamicly...

Hi everybody.
I load an assembly into another AppDomain, not a default one. As there is no
way to unload the assembly, I need to unload the domain. This is where the
app hangs.
The problem is this assembly has references to one dll, currently not
performing any work.
I tried this:
1. Setting the assembly to null,
2. Implementing a ClassFactory and returning an interface of the object,

Hello,
I have read numerous post stating that the only way to unload an assembly
(DLL in my case) is to create a separate AppDomain, load the assembly, then
unload it by calling AppDomain.Unload.
When trying to delete the DLL file I get an exception that access is denied.
When trying to copy over the DLL file, I get an exception that it is being
used by another process.

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:
AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("MyDomain");
domain.CreateInstance("TempDLL", "TempDLL.Class1");
MessageBox.Show("try deleting file now"); //cant delete file
AppDomain.Unload(domain);
