assemblies

How can I create an appdomain, add assemblies to it, then destroy that app domain? This is what I have tried: static void Main(string[] args) { string pathToExe = @"A:\Users\Tono\Desktop\ConsoleApplication1.exe"; AppDomain myDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("MyDomain"); Assembly a = Assembly.Load(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(pathToExe)); myDomain.Load(a.FullName); // Crashes here! } I have also tried: myDomain.Load(File.ReadAllBytes(pathToExe)); how can I add an assembly to the appdomain. Once I do that I can find the method via reflection execute it and then destroy the appdomain The exception

One small function of a large program examines assemblies in a folder and replaces out-of-date assemblies with the latest versions. To accomplish this, it needs to read the version numbers of the existing assembly files without actually loading those assemblies into the executing process. I found the following in this article . using System.Reflection; using System.IO; ... // Get current and updated assemblies AssemblyName currentAssemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(currentAssemblyPath); AssemblyName updatedAssemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(updatedAssemblyPath); // Compare

I'm writing a .NET tool that requires the SQL Server SMO library. I don't care if it's the version from Server 2005 (9.0), 2008 (10.0) or 2008 R2 (probably 10.5, didn't check). The SMO library is installed together SQL Server, so I can safely assume that on any system with SQL Server installed, some version of the SMO library is available as well. Unfortunately, the SMO libraries are strongly-named: If I add a reference to SMO 9.0 in my project, it will fail ( FileNotFoundException ) if only SMO 10.0 is present on the customer's system, and vice versa. Is there some way to tell the compiler

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible when you are dynamically generating assemblies, to reference a type in a previously dynamically generated assembly. For example: using System; using System.CodeDom.Compiler; using System.Reflection; using Microsoft.CSharp; CodeDomProvider provider = new CSharpCodeProvider(); CompilerParameters parameters = new CompilerParameters(); parameters.GenerateInMemory = true; CompilerResults results = provider.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters, @" namespace Dynamic { public class A { } } "); Assembly assem = results.CompiledAssembly; CodeDomProvider

I'd like to be able to do a code-level diff between two assemblies; the Diff plug-in for Reflector is the closest thing I've found so far, but to compare the entire assembly is a manual process requiring me to drill-down into every namespace/class/method. The other tools I've found so far appear to be limited to API-level (namespaces, classes, methods) differences--which won't cut it for what I'm looking for. Does anyone know of such a tool? My requirements (from highest to lowest) are: Be able to analyze / reflect the code content of two versions of the same assembly and report the

In my program, how can I read the properties set in AssemblyInfo.cs: [assembly: AssemblyTitle("My Product")] [assembly: AssemblyDescription("...")] [assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")] [assembly: AssemblyCompany("Radeldudel inc.")] [assembly: AssemblyProduct("My Product")] [assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright @ me 2008")] [assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")] [assembly: AssemblyCulture("")] I'd like to display some of these values to the user of my program, so I'd like to know how to load them from the main program and from komponent assemblies I'm using. This is reasonably easy. You have to

I have a Bootstrapper that looks through all Assemblies in an ASP.NET MVC application to find types that implement an IBootstrapperTask interface, and then registers them with an IOC Contrainer. The idea is that you can literaly place your IBootstrapperTasks anywhere, and organise your Projects how you please. Code for Bootstrapper: public class Bootstrapper { static Bootstrapper() { Type bootStrapperType = typeof(IBootstrapperTask); IList<Assembly> assemblies = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies(); List<Type> tasks = new List<Type>(); foreach (Assembly assembly in assemblies) { var types =
