Using two DLLs with same name and same namespace

Question

I have a project which needs to reference two DLLs with the same name. The DLLs are not strong named, have the same exact name.

I need to access some types within ea

Answer 1

I can think of two ways to handle this.

1. load each DLL into a separate AppDomain. You'll have to make calls across the AppDomain boundary to tickle the various properties and methods.

2. before loading the assemblies, disassemble and then re-assemble each assembly and put them into unique (maybe dynamically generated) namespaces. There are tools that can help with this (1) (2). You could potentially automate it.

But my base feeling is, you really shouldn't be doing this. It's easier to solve this problem upstream, than it is to solve it after you already have compiled assemblies.
