Loading assembly in app domain

[Michael Kremser]

Hi NG!

I have troubles with loading an application to its own app domain.

I have two applications: An caller application named
"OfficeTSWCalle rDemo" (in a directory like
"X:\Blablabla\A ppA\bin\Debug") and an callee application named
"GEMOfficeT SW" (in a directory like "X:\Gagaga\AppB \bin\Debug"). The
latter saves settings in its GEMOfficeTSW.ex e.config and user.config in
C:\Documents and Settings\userna me\Local Settings\Applic ation
Data\company\GE MOfficeTSW.vsho st.exe_Url_da54 u2y5pojuhcg4ad2 nf055bfg50kwr\0 .9.0.0.
The problem is that if the caller applications loads the callee
application, the callee application cannot read and write settings
accordingly (for one date, always the defaut value is returned, for
another one it works). I suspected that this is a problem related to
the application domain. So I thought instead of calling the callee
application with

Assembly assGEMOTSW =
Assembly.LoadFr om(Path.Combine (strAssemblyDir ectory,
"GEMOfficeTSW.e xe"));
Type typeProgram = assGEMOTSW.GetT ype("AVL.GEM.GE MOfficeTSW.Prog ram");

I do this with the creation of a new application domain, like below:

Environment.Cur rentDirectory = strAssemblyDire ctory;
AppDomainSetup info = new AppDomainSetup( );
info.Applicatio nBase = strAssemblyDire ctory;
info.Applicatio nName = "GEMOfficeT SW";
info.PrivateBin Path = strAssemblyDire ctory;
info.Configurat ionFile = strAssemblyFile name + ".config";
AppDomain appDomain = AppDomain.Creat eDomain("GemOTS WDomain", null,
info);
Assembly assGEMOTSW2 = appDomain.Load( "GEMOfficeTSW") ;

If I run this code, I get an error in the line with
"AppDomain.Crea teDomain":

Could not load file or assembly 'GEMOfficeTSW, Version=0.9.0.0 ,
Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= null' or one of its dependencies. The
system cannot find the file specified.

I don't have a clue what I made wrong. :-( I already googled a lot but
I could not find an appropriate solution.

Can anybode help me?

BR,

Michael
