.net com referencing

[Dan Crisp]

What I'm attempting seems like it can be done - whether easily or not
is another question. I have a .net solution that starts a couple
threads and through an interface basically tests out some com+
components to make sure they're still "alive" (developed in VB6).
Currently, I manually build a new project for each component and in my
"component monitoring" project manually add a reference for that same
component. What I'd like to do is just put the com+ project compiled
dll in the bin directory of the solution and have it "discover" it and
add the reference at runtime so I don't have to (theoretically, at
least) touch the code again to recompile.

I've been looking at VSA and AssemblyBuilder stuff, but I can't find a
clear-cut example to just add references on the fly. This is .net, so
it's got to be possible, right.

anyone?

Thanks,

Dan

Does anyone have any insight into this - can it not be done? Surely
with Microsoft products, all is possible, right?
