I am using reflection to load an assembly dynamically at runtime. If there
are classes in the assembly that implement a particular interface, I put an
entry in a list for later use.
My questions concerns the loading of the assembly. Since there is no way
to unload the assembly, what happens if a assembly I have loaded does not
contain any classes that implement my interface? Does the assembly just
hang around until the app ends? Does it really matter?
I wish to avoid this if possible and I read that to be able to unload an
assembly, you have to use an AppDomain. I have been unable to find a
clear, simple example that shows this.
Can anyone help?

Hello,
I'm trying to load an assembly dynamically using an app domain. This
is a proof-of-concept for a larger project, so please excuse the lame
class names.
TestLib is the dll where all the dynamic loading code will go. The
assemblies being dynamically loaded do not contain any code. They are
resource-only assemblies. I have succeeded in...

Hi everybody.
I load an assembly into another AppDomain, not a default one. As there is no
way to unload the assembly, I need to unload the domain. This is where the
app hangs.
The problem is this assembly has references to one dll, currently not
performing any work.
I tried this:
1. Setting the assembly to null,
2. Implementing a...

When trying to copy over the DLL file, I get an exception that it is...
