Hello all,
When dynamically loading classes through reflection using Assembly.LoadFr om
I have the following questions:
1) Once you load an assembly it doesn't appear you can unload it. If you
try to load an assembly multiple times does this cause any type of memory
issues?
2) If you load an assembly and later you try to load a newer version of the
same assembly, does .NET know it's the same assembly and if so, what happens?
3) Before you execute Assembly.LoadFr om should you check to see if the
assembly is already loaded to avoid loading it again and if so how?
Thanks in advance,

1) Almost correct. You can only unload appdomains. What you can do is to
create a new AppDomain and load you assembly into it. However, you also
have to make sure to create your object inside the new domain using
AppDomain.Creat eInstanceAndUnw rap(..).
I haven't had any issues calling LoadFrom multiple times.
2)If you have a string named assembly and the version is higher it will
get loaded.
3) see 1)
HTH,
Andy

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 have an application that I would like third party developers to be
able to create Plug-ins that will be dynamically loaded into our

I have utilized the "Let Users Add Functionality to Your .NET

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

We've got a wierd failure happening on just one machine. One part of our

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
