Assembly.LoadFr om() fails

Hello,

I want to be able to load an assembly by selecting a dll from an OpenFileDialog.
This seems to work, exept when that assembly references "3rd-Party dll's".

Just this simple line:

Dim myAssembly As [Assembly] = [Assembly].LoadFile(FileN ame)

throws the following exception:

System.Reflecti on.ReflectionTy peLoadException : One or more of the types in the assembly unable to load.
at System.Reflecti on.Module.GetTy pesInternal(Sta ckCrawlMark& stackMark)
at System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get Types()
at Stegosoft.Assem blySniffer.Form 1.ScanAssembly( String FileName) in ........

Any sugestions?

TIA,
Michael

Hi Andre,

Thanks for your input.
You "unintended ly" brought my attention to some Reflector Plug-Inns, ...,
wow!

Kind regards,

Michael

BTW: The issue has been solved :-) so I'm (twice) glad!

The plugins may be anywhere on the disk. Each plugin defines a class which implements an interface known to the app. The main app loads the plugin with Assembly.LoadFrom and then uses Assembly.GetTypes() and Type.FindInterface to find the concrete types in the plugin that...

I'm using reflection to dynamically load an assembly and even though I'm sure the assembly is present, I keep getting an error telling me the "assembly or one of its references can't be found". I do in fact have a reference to the assembly in question in the project and I even tried declaring it with "using" at the top of the class file. Here's the method that fails:

I have a .NET 2.0 application divided in two assemblies; the exe and a dll. The application generates a plugin-dll which is then loaded in a separate AppDomain (along with a second instance of my application dll). It's been working for months and now the it's not working from my application exe anymore but still working from NUnit when testing the dll. What could have changed in my exe? Some configuration thing in my VS2005 project?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
