Using only specified Assemblys

[René P.]

Hello,

i have a little application that search into a special folder to
assemblys. Founded assembly would be load by Assembly.LoadFrom().

Is there a way to load only assemblys that are from my company? I would
not that 3th party assemblys are loaded. So if i copy an assembly into
this folder on next restart the new assembly should be load only if
have the right strong name, or is certified??

What can i do?

Thanks a lot for any idears.

You could get the AssemblyName first with
AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(). Then use the GetPublicKey() method to
check if the assembly has a public key that matches your company.

Hi,

Use Assembly.LoadFile() method. This will not load the assembly into your
AppDomain but will give you the possiblity the check the assembly out. Find
out what your need to know and then use Assembly.LoadFrom() to load the
assembly into your domain if the assembly applies to your requirements.

Hi Matias,

what happen if anyone makes the same settings like CompanyName etc? Is
it a secury way to check the PublicKey? How i can compare the PublicKey
from the Assembly to the ExecutingAssembly without writing clear text?

Thanks
