Hi. I have a desktop application with AR support for database operations. Everything worked, everything was excellent.
But now I need to make plugins-support model for my program. Every plugin is separate assembly, which dynamicly loads at runtime an do some work. Problem is that some of plugins also needs to use their own databases. My experiments: 1. At first, I thought that I can separately initialize AR connection in my main application and in each plugin, which need database support - but no! I can not call ActiveRecordStarter.Initialize() in plugin assembly (exception "already called"). Not working even in another AppDomain. 2. If in plugin assembly I call ResetInitializationFlag() and then Initialize() - I have my connection to plugin's database, but lost main database connection (this wasn't surprise) 3. Of course I can not Initialize all plugins database connection in main application - i do not know their properties (only plugins know them) and also i will have near hundred plugins and I do not want to create at startup hundred of connections - only when user will load and use some plugin. 4. DifferentDatabaseScope not working. I think it also requires database connection properties of all databases before Initialize - but I do not have them at moment when I connect to the first database. 5. ActiveRecordStarter.RegisterTypes helps to introduce AR types, that I want to use in plugin, but when I trying to make some request - I have just empty recordset. I think AR does not understand from which database I want to load data. That is all. For now, I think that it is impossible to dynamicaly connect to and disconnect from different databases without breaking the connection with opened at first Initialize() database.
