        var dlls = di.GetFileSystemInfos("*.dll");
        AggregateCatalog agc = new AggregateCatalog(); 

        foreach (var fi in dlls)
        {
            try
            {
                var ac = new AssemblyCatalog(Assembly.LoadFile(fi.FullName));
                var parts = ac.Parts.ToArray(); // throws ReflectionTypeLoadException 
                agc.Catalogs.Add(ac);
            }
            catch (ReflectionTypeLoadException ex)
            {
                Elmah.ErrorSignal.FromCurrentContext().Raise(ex);
            }
        }

        CompositionContainer cc = new CompositionContainer(agc);

        _providers = cc.GetExports();
