Hi Curt, I finally got this working. Sadly, looking into the AssemblyResolve event within IronRuby always caused a stackoverflow, certain assemblies would keep attempting to load themselves. I was using AssemblyResolve and Assembly.LoadFrom and LoadPath, but nothing helped.
Last night, I looked into the AssemblyResolve event from within RubyContext and everything works just as expected. No errors, no stack overflows. I then used the GetSearchPaths() methods as possible locations to load assemblies from, this means I can add paths from IronRuby to use when loading assemblies via the $: variable. Appears to work well - bit annoying I can't submit the patch :P Thanks Ben On Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 9:22 PM, Curt Hagenlocher <cu...@microsoft.com> wrote: > The IronPython assembly resolver is in PythonContext.cs.
