I finally found an interesting article after searching all day that helped with the solution. You can find it at:
http://www.ayende.com/Blog/archive/2006/05/22/7579.aspx It works good. I modified it so that you can use it with multiple AppDomain objects. Thanks, Mike Here's the code that I modified: /// <summary> /// Provides assembly resolution for a particular application domain. /// <remarks> /// The basis for this class was found at: http://www.ayende.com/Blog/archive/2006/05/22/7579.aspx. /// The original code has been modified to allow multiple AppDomains to provide assembly resolution as well. /// </remarks> /// </summary> public static class AssemblyLocator { private static Dictionary<AppDomain, Dictionary<string, System.Reflection.Assembly>> Assemblies = new Dictionary<AppDomain, Dictionary<string, System.Reflection.Assembly>>(); /// <summary> /// Initializes the locator with the current AppDomain. /// </summary> public static void Init() { Init(AppDomain.CurrentDomain); } /// <summary> /// Initializes the locator with the specified domain. /// </summary> /// <param name="domain">The domain to monitor.</param> public static void Init(AppDomain domain) { if (!Assemblies.ContainsKey(domain)) { Assemblies.Add(domain, new Dictionary<string, System.Reflection.Assembly>()); domain.AssemblyLoad += new AssemblyLoadEventHandler(Domain_AssemblyLoad); domain.AssemblyResolve += new ResolveEventHandler(Domain_AssemblyResolve); } } private static System.Reflection.Assembly Domain_AssemblyResolve(object sender, ResolveEventArgs args) { System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = null; Assemblies[sender as AppDomain].TryGetValue(args.Name, out assembly); return assembly; } private static void Domain_AssemblyLoad(object sender, AssemblyLoadEventArgs args) { Assemblies[sender as AppDomain][args.LoadedAssembly.FullName] = args.LoadedAssembly; } } On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 3:13 PM, Geoff Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I haven't done this in a long time (I think it was .NET 1.0, or maybe the > beta), but at the time I had to add a handler to > AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve to help with type resolution. > > Trying that might help get you up and running, but it's probably not the > 'right' answer. > > Good luck, > > Geoff > > On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 6:32 PM, Mike Andrews <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > wrote: > > > I need some help with dynamic assembly loading. > > > > I need to load a single assembly and its dependent assemblies (and theirs > > too if required).
