To get the AssemblyResolve event triggered, you need the JIT to actually need the referenced assembly. I suggest that when you load the modified assembly, you make the JIT execute a small method that you created, containing a reference to something which has for scope the assembly reference you added. The JIT should then ask the runtime to resolve the reference, eventually triggering the event. Let me know if it works. -- Jb Evain <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ -- mono-cecil -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
