Can you detect when your assembly is loaded?


I'm writing a class library that will be consumed by other applications,
both web and form, and may also be loaded dynamically. I need the assembly to
perform some validation immediately after it is loaded, and possibly shut
itself down. I cannot find an event or mechanism to detect when my assembly
is loaded. Any suggestions?

Could you use a factory pattern to create all the instances of your
objects and then add the validation code to the factory class so that
the first time an object instantiation is attempted the factory class
could check for validation and then set a boolean to allow or prevent
that and future instantiations?

You can use a static class constructor. The first time your class is used
the static ctor will be invoked before any of the instance methods or fields
can be accessed.

I have a class library where just about every class uses its static initializer to register with a central registry object in the same assembly. I am hoping for some sort of Assembly.Load event that I can handle to go through my assembly and invoke the static initializer on each relevant class. This way, everything that needs to be registered will be registered before the first request to the registry object. So my questions are:

Hi, I'm currently writing a Web Services that interacts with a database. To allow me to use not just one database provider (for example, I could use MS Access, SQL Server or MySQL), the Web Service dynamically loads up an assembly that implements an Interface I called IDatabase. To load the assembly and create an object, I wrote this function: private IDatabase LoadDatabasePlugin( string assemblyFile, string

I was trying to write a routine this morning that would open a given assembly, walk the inheritance tree of classes in the assembly, and provide a list of classes in the assembly that inherit from DataSet. Here is a snippet from the routine I came up with: ------------------------------------------------------------ openFileDialog.ShowDialog(); Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(openFileDialog.FileName);

The following code will enter an infinate loop when in ReadChars. I can only make it happen when reading a Stream and with this particular XML. If I use the ReadInnerXml call rather than my own ReadElementBodyAsXml the code works, but is less efficent. ReadElementBodyAsXml is required by my application with .Net Framework 1.1. The code breaks on the second call to ReadElementBodyAsXml with the inner xml: </EGDConfigExtension>...

My ASP.NET Web app uses a few 3rd party assemblies. Just wondering when those are loaded into the Web app's AppDomain - and for how long do they stay loaded. Is an assembly loaded the first time a page is loaded (where the page in question makes use of the 3rd party assembly)? Or are all assemblies referenced by the Web app automatically loaded whenever the Web site starts (or is restarted)? Thanks.

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.

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,...
