Loading Dynamic Assemblies

I have a C# library that dynamically creates a in-memory assembly and creates
instances of the objects therein. From .NET applications, this works
perfectly well.

However, when I wrap this library in a COM wrapper, the instantiation of
objects in this dynamic assembly fails. But if instead of dynamically
compiling to an in-memory assembly I compile to disk and then use
Assembly.LoadFr om(...) then things work again.

It appears that the latter causes the assembly to be loaded both into the
"DefaultDom ain" (whatever that is) as well as the application domain of my
COM client and that last is what is needed. When I try to use an in-memory
assembly, it is loaded only into the "DefaultDom ain" and not into the
application domain of my COM client.

Is this just the way it is, or is there a way to use dynamically compiled,
in-memory assemblies when invoking from a COM client? Thanks!

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 am currently developing an application, which receives Assembly objects from the network. I would like to load these assemblies dynamically in the application. I looked the informations about the Load and LoadWithPartialName methods. If I have well understood, these methods look first in the application directory for the assembly and then in the GAC. So I suppose in order to load my assemblies, I first have to save them to...

I have an application that I would like third party developers to be able to create Plug-ins that will be dynamically loaded into our application to extend functionality. I have utilized the "Let Users Add Functionality to Your .NET Applications with Macros and Plug-Ins" article at MSDN for the dynamic loading of DLLs http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/10/Plug-Ins/default.aspx

Hi guys I'm writing a console app in C# for which i want to enable the user to have several "plug-ins". The app has a switch to set the plug-in to use, and at runtime the required dll is loaded and executed. I had thought I could do this with a C# class compiled, and just load the relevant dll file for the class we want, and call it as normal. Of course this won't work because C# class files need to be compiled into the app? Correct?

I'm designing an application framework which will, amongst other things, live in an assembly hosted in the ASP.NET worker process, servicing webservice requests. Here's the scenario: APPFX is our application framework assembly. It has no life of its own - it's designed to provide components that are glued together by another, main application assembly - let us call it APP. Thus, APP uses APPFX, and APP is registered with ASP.NET as a...

What is the best strategy for dynamic loading private assemblies in asp.net? I understand, and have confirmed, that any dll placed in the app's /bin dir will get loaded on startup. This is not desirable. I have a web service that, based on an input parameter, dynamically loads A, B or C library. I also understand that an separate AppDomain is needed to explicitly unload the Assembly. No other apps will use these assemblies. Do I need...

Hi All I've been experiencing OutOfMemory errors on our prodution webserver for a few weeks now. I've finally managed to isolate (I think) the problem to our use of c# script blocks in our xsl files. While debugging I discovered that the app domain for one of our sites had 13000+ assemblies loaded. I did some digging and it seems that this is as a result of the xsl user functions being compiled and loaded into memory and never being...

BlankHi, I am having trouble loading assemblies from the database in my ASP.NET app. I have a default.aspx in my app that is served from a database via a custom virtual path provider. This works fine, until this default.aspx uses code in a dependent assembly (say CustomAssembly). Then ASP.NET cannot find the class "CustomAssembly.MyClass" and files to compile the default.aspx. I've tried to do a AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Load(byte...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
