How to load assembly into memory and execute it

Question

This is what im doing:

byte[] bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(@Application.StartupPath+\"/UpdateMainProgaramApp.exe\");
Assembly assembly = Assembly.Load(bytes);
/         


        

Answer 1

The entry point method is static, so it should be invoked using a null value for the "instance" parameter. Try replacing everything after your Assembly.Load line with the following:

assembly.EntryPoint.Invoke(null, new object[0]);

If the entry point method is not public, you should use the Invoke overload that allows you to specify BindingFlags.
