so I want to go start using System.Reflection to load my dlls from a special folder as I never did this before and thought I should give it a try. now I'm wondering how to do this. below I have my dll code and my form code I need to know how to use the sub from my dll in my form if I use Assembly.LoadFrom

Our company has an app that load their components by System.Reflection.Load (By the way, an awesome technique )But, we start to monitorate the application and detect a extrange grow up of memory (actually when our application still all day on air, their allocate memory on task manager is 200 MB plus memory) And all of our components (60 plus DLLs) is load by this technique.My doubt is how to deallocate this assemblies or how the best way to deallocate any assemblies loaded by the System.Reflection.Assemblie.Load method?
View 10 RepliesI want to use reflection to dynamically call a dll (not an assembly, non-managed, possibly COM object model) in vb.net.I've seen several different methods of calling a method in a dll that is a .net assembly - but I have not found the way to dynamically call a method inside of a dll like user32.dll or winmm.dll. I believe this would be called late-binding?
The reason I'm asking is because I am building a language that will depend on external libraries for lots of different functionality. An example (in this language I'm building):
Declare Function mciSendStringA using "winmm.dll" (strCommand As String, strReturn As String, returnLength As Integer, blah As Integer) As Integer
Declare Function WriteConsoleA using "kernel32.dll" (hConsoleOutput As Integer, lpBuffer As String, numberofcharstowrite as Integer, lpReserved as Integer) As Boolean
When I build the interpreter for the call to mciSendString in winmm.dll, how can I use reflection to handle this? I want the user to be able to reference any dll/method they wish.Can I get some guidance in the right direction? Perhaps even some vb.net code that I can take apart and understand?
I have a simple question for you I think, but for me it bugs me a lot
So as the title says, I want to load a dll from a folder in my exe and use it's classes
How can I do that? like for example my app is named "run.exe" and I want at load time to load dlls from folder "resources" and use the classes from the dll's it "imported"

I have had several occasions recently to access a specific class several times over a relatively small time frame.So I've been storing the value of the class in Session and trying to access it on page load, if it's not available creating a new instance and storing that in session.
So instead of constantly replicating the same code for different classes on different pages I'm trying to create an extension method to do this for me.
[Code]...
I'm stuck on what to do when I make my new instance of my class (it would have to have a New() sub)
I'm not sure where to go from here... or even if this is the best way to do it.
Not sure if this is the correct place for this postWhat I am trying to do is update dll's in my application.Using VB with dotnet 2 (Visual Studio 2010)The Project has a number of Dll's one of each department i.e. Sales is sales.dll... Development is development.dll etc....Each dll has classes/User controls which is used and dispose depending on the section within the application.Once work has been completed with a dll, it put in the deployment area, currently another is program launching checks the file verison and updates as required, before the main application lauches, this works. The exe hasn't needed updated for a long time as all the changes are in the dlls.
What i have been looking at is update method for the dll's dymanically, when not in use, when the dll called into use or disposed of.I have looking at LoadLibrary/FreeLibrary and application.domain. I have been reading loads and tried out some of the examples, with a modified to suit. I am just not getting it.
I would like to load a class library at runtime. As such, I thought I could use reflection to do so.However I am receiving the exception "Unable to cast object of type 'MyLibrary.LogSystem' to type 'MainApp.ILog'." in my main application. To start with I created a Class Library (VS2010) with a simple interface and one class that implements the interface.

Im using system.reflection to inject a managed (.net) file directly into memory.This injection works with other managed files, but this file has data in the EOF and it wont run without that data.
View 1 RepliesI am trying to determine every single reference inside a dll with System.Reflection. However, GetReferencedAssemblies only lists the ones in the "References" (visible in solution explorer).
I would like to determine references from within the code itself, such as an imports statement. Even things like if/then statements, try/catch, absolutely everything.
Is this possible to do using System.Reflection? If so, how?
I would definitely prefer to do this without p/invoke.
I am trying to create an application that will play a movie file, then when it has played the movie, give the user 30 seconds then shut the system down. i have so far made it so that it does everything i need expect when the code for the additional 30 seconds is up i get the following error:

Additional information: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
When i had a message box being made at the same point it worked fine but when i added the shutdown code in it doesnt work so i am confident it is not with the if statements but more the "Process.Start("shutdown /s /t 30")" line.

I am loading an assembly dynamically and invoking a static method from it. The problem arises when the method uses a reference which is not trivial (e.g. mscorlib or System.Core) - I get System.MissingMethodException. I have tried going through the references assemblies of the loaded assembly and manually loading them all, thus forcing them to be loaded onto the AppDomain. I have checked CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies, the assemblies are loaded.

I am trying to understand how to interact with external DLLs written in C++ for use in my VB.NET application. I have some DLLs that a client wrote that do some math functions. Everything was working on a 32-bit machine. Because we were taxing the 32-bit machine we moved to 64-bit. Now we can't get the same functions to work. The DLLs were re-compiled as 64-bit DLLs and they still don't work. So my client wrote some dummy DLLs to see if we could figure out the problem. Here are the "signatures" of the DLL calls that I am making:[code]....Ultimately I would like to get to calling initialize_quiet and I am guessing at the format of the marshalling, const size etc.
View 3 RepliesI cannot get the following to work for me: its the section that sets the default for system.data.linq.binary. The database I work with doesn't allow nulls in any field. So I generally run my buffer through this routine to populate defaults and then set the real values independently, (this works when I miss a field). I can set the Linq table field = fakeBinary and it works like a charm. Thus, I don't understand why using reflection can't pull of the same thing.
Ex: Me.CM20500WindowBuffer.Reconcile_Messages = New Byte() {0} works.
Try
Dim fakeBinary As System.Byte() = {0}
For Each fld In nObj.GetType().GetProperties
Select Case fld.PropertyType
Case GetType(Byte)

I'm passing a type name and some parameters from C# code into a navigation framework written in VB. The navigation framework looks for a constructor on the type that matches the parameters passed in using Type.GetConstructor(Types()). The constructor that I'm looking for expects an array of integers Integer() in vb. But it gets an array of System.Int32. I've gone so far as to try this:
[Code]...
And the VB code still sees System.Int32 on the other end, which means that it doesn't find the constructor.
I have tried several versions of this with no luck. The casting of the worksheet works as my data is entered in other parts, but I have a section where I need to add data 1 column right of the cell containing the 'str(0)' value.

It's a game that continues for a long time and isn't done in a hour, so it is pretty annoying that if the player re-opens the game he has to do everything over again. So, does anybody know how I can make a save/load system? Like that on the first form of the game there is a "Save" and "Load" button. If the player presses the "Save" button, the program automatically saves the progress of the player in a file somewhere on the harddisk of the player, and if the player presses "Load", the program automatically loads the file he saved, so the player doesn't have to start all over again.

View 2 RepliesThe company needs a system to calculate the charges for each load that they deliver. The loads consist of up to 10 different types of goods. Each item has an associated delivery charge. The system will allow the user to select up to 10 lines of goods and a quantity for each line of goods. It should then calculate the total delivery charge. It must add 20% VAT to this net total and show the gross total as well. The system should show a total number of items as well as the delivery charge. It must recalculate in real time (i.e. as soon as a quantity is entered or changed the totals should recalculate). There should be a facility to enter the delivery date and address as well. The delivery date cannot be entered as a date that has already passed.
