Calling a .NET assembly through PURE UNMANAGED code

[Nadav]

Hi,

I am tiring to load an assembly from memory ( e.g.
System.Reflection.Assembly.Load( byte[] ), this works fine through managed
and mixed code. NOW, I am tiring to achieve the same thing through PURE
UNMANAGED code, I can't use com or com interop, does some one have an idea
how to achieve what was just described? ( through unmanaged code )
Is it possible to call a managed assembly through PURE UNMANAGED code? how?
( if at-all )

Again, I can't use COM so COM Interop will not satisfy my needs

Check the docs for CorBindToRuntimeEx(). It will load the CLR into the
calling process. This gets you an interface pointer of type ICorRuntimeHost.

Then you can't get there from here. :-)

In unmanaged code you interact with the runtime via COM. You need to do some
in an application domain? Then you need an interface pointer _AppDomain
where you get to use more COM is used. Once you have that what do you do if
you need to call a method on an object of a class? COM again.
