I notice the following strange behavior of the applications running under
..NET Framework.
Let say I have application MyApp.exe which reference assembly MyAssembly.dll.
The MyAssembly.dll is strong named assembly, which is installed in the GAC.
I notice that if MyAssembly.dll is not installed in GAC or the different
version
of MyAssembly.dll is installed in GAC then MyApp.exe starts OK. But as soon as
the MyApp.exe app tries to call any function from the MyAssembly.dll the
MyApp.exe
application crashes.
In unmanaged VC++ 6.0 world the application wouldn't even allowed to start
if some dll are missing. The system would display error message saying that
some dll's are missing and application would gracefully exit.
I wonder whether I misunderstand something or made any mistake? Why
MyApp.exe is allowed to start in order to crash right after attemp to use any
functionality from missing dependent assembly?
Can anyone clarify this situation?
Thanks

Nope; it's working just as expected. The runtime will only load an assembly
when it needs to. This, btw, helps insure you don't load things you're not
gonna use, and, it enables some interesting scenarios with web-distributed
rich client applications (since you only have to download when you use it;
what you don't use doesn't need to be transferred at all!)

OK, this is not , this is "feature".
But how can I prevent the ugly crashes in described above situation and exit
gracefully?
Thanks

Hello NG,
I realized, that my application won't start, if a referenced assembly is
missing.
Basically this is understandable, but since I destribute my applictaion
without a setup, it can happen that I forget one or the other .dll.
Since my app depends on a whole bunch of .dll it would be great, if the app
could tell me which assemblies are missing instead of not starting at all.
