UNLOAD An Assembly That Was Loaded By Using System.Reflection.Assemblie.Load Method?

Jan 15, 2007

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?

Load / Use And Unload An Assembly At Runtime

Dec 1, 2011

I am working on a project where I have to load assemblies (lets call them tasks) at runtime, run the task and then be able to kill off the whole assembly so that the dll can be replaced without interrupting the main application.There are many of these tasks running within the main application,some run sequentially and some run in parallel.Occasionally one or to of these tasks need to be updated and then re-added to the queue. Currently we are stopping the entire application and interrupting the other tasks at whatever stage they are at, which is not ideal.I have figured out that I will have to load each assembly into a separate AppDomain, but loading the assemblies in those domains is proving difficult, especially when I need to actually run the tasks and receive events from them.I have been looking into this problem for a couple of days and have still not managed to get a working proof-of-concept.

I have an Interface for the tasks which includes a 'run' and 'kill' method (subs) and a 'taskstep','complete' and 'killed' event.'taskstep' returns an object to be cached later, 'complete' fires when the whole task is done and 'killed' fires when it is ready to be unloaded.There should also be a timeout on the whole process of two hours and a timeout of 2 minutes on the killed event in case it gets stuck, at which point I would like to be able to unload it, forcing any threads to terminate (which is what 'kill' should do anyway).Each assembly may contain several tasks, all of which should loadable be unloadable.I have no problems loading these tasks as 'plugins' but am lost when trying to both use them and unload them. If I have to create some elaborate wrapper then so be it but is what I need even possible? I have tried inheriting from MarshalByRefObject but I do not even know the assembly fullname unless I load it first, which then locks the file. I have tried loading from a byte array of the assembly. This means that the file is not locked but a copy of it remains in the current appdomain. This will become problematic over the following months / years![code]

Reflected Method From A Loaded Assembly Executes Before Calling Method?

Jun 9, 2009

When I am loading an Assembly dynamically, then calling a method from it, I appear to be getting the method from Assembly executing before the code in the method that is calling it.It does not appear to be executing in a Serial manner as I would expect. Can anyone shine some light on why this might be happening. Below is some code to illustrate what I am seeing, the code from the some.dll assembly calls a method named PerformLookup. For testing I put a similar MessageBox type output with "PerformLookup Time: " as the text. What I end up seeing is:

First: "PerformLookup Time: 40:842"
Second: "initIndex Time: 45:873"

Load Assembly Using Reflection?

Apr 19, 2011

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.

Asp.net - .Net Iniatialising A Class Using System.Reflection And System.Type To Create A Session Based Singlton Extension Method

Jun 11, 2009

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.

Invoking A Method Via Reflection Causes System.MissingMethodException?

Dec 5, 2011

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.

"System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could Not Load File Or Assembly" When The Assembly Does In Fact Exist?

Oct 8, 2009

One of them is giving us trouble in only 1 spot out of the 4 spots we use it at:The trouble spot is a windows form project that uses reflection to dynamically load some DLLs that run long running processes. One of these long running processes is an agent that relies on one of our vender DLLsWe're getting the missing assembly exception at the point where we first enter a function that references the library. I already checked the silly things such as if we had forgotten to move a reference from the old version to the new version, but that's not the case. I also checked the bin directory of the project and the assembly is there.

C# - System.IO.FileNotFoundException Could Not Load File Or Assembly?

May 17, 2011

I have a WPF application that has 3 projects in the solution. I have the main menu, which is the actual EXE, a reporting DLL and the application files DLL which both are a WPF Class Library. I'm getting the System.IO error when I'm trying to use a 3rd party reporting tool from in the application files DLL. I have the 3rd party DLLs referenced and are set to copy local in my application DLL. Everything works fine if i reference the 3rd party reporting tool in the EXE project but I don't want to do that. I want my DLL to be stand alone so someone else can reference my DLL without having to add anything but my DLL.

VS 2008 : Error : System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could Not Load File Or Assembly

Jul 23, 2009

I created a SQL application that synchronises with a SQLCE database when loaded. Works fine on my Dev machine but produces the following error on user machines:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Synchronization.Data, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Microsoft.Synchronization.Data, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91'

In my attempts to fix, I have:

1) Reinstalled SQL Compact Editon 3.5 on the client machines
2) Reinstalled .NET Framework 3.5
3) Installed Microsoft Sync Framework 1.0 (which puts the 'missing' DLL onto the machines).

This still fails with the same error.

Specifically Load Or Unload A DLL?

Feb 26, 2010

I am calling a Fortran DLL from Vb.Net. I am declaring this in the class and then I am calling the DLL. I made this Fortran DLL from a Fortran Exe code. If I just use the exe code of the Fortran program I get different values than if I use Fortran DLL. First I thought may be there is a delay, so I used Sleep() before the end of the loop. But this does not change the values I am getting. I don;t understand why the results are different in exe and DLL, since I made DLL using the same exe code. I am not sure if the DLL is completely exited before it called again. Below is the code (partial).

Declare Sub abbb Lib "C:Documents and Settingssanjida.tamannaMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsDll53Dll53DebugDll53.dll" Alias "aaa" (ByRef TOL1 As Single, ByRef tt1 As Single, ByRef TEND1 As Single, ByRef t_exposure2 As Single)

C# - Finding All Namespaces In An Assembly Using Reflection (DotNET)

Oct 10, 2009

I've got an assembly (loaded as ReflectionOnly) and I want to find all the namespaces in this assembly so I can convert them into "using" ("Imports" in VB) statements for an auto-generated source code file template.

Ideally I'd like to restrict myself to top-level namespaces only, so instead of:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

you'd only get:

using System;

I noticed there is a Namespace property on the System.Type class, but is there a better way to collect Namespaces inside an assembly that doesn't involve iterating over all types and culling duplicate namespace strings?

Load/Unload Windows Drivers?

Jun 23, 2010

Followup to a previous post: It's been determined that Windows Device Drivers cannot be written in VB.NET; that's being dealt with separately.

What I'm interested to know here is if there's a DotNET Framework facility for adding/removing/managing device drivers; for example, can I build a VB.NET application to list loaded drivers, or drivers attached to a specific device, then load or unload those drivers as needed? It never hurts to try. In a worst case scenario, you'll learn from it.

Calling Methods In Non-assembly (non-managed) Dlls Through Reflection In .net?

Dec 26, 2011

I 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?

.net - Debug Dynamically Loaded Assembly?

I am debugging an assembly which I loaded dynamically with Assembly.Load(Byte[]), but I am facing some problems.First of all, I can't move the yellow arrow in Visual Studio 2010 to step into other lines of code, and also I am getiing exceptions ("Cannot find the method on the object instance.") when trying to do a quick watch on objects from a third party library (controls from Infragistics for example.)

Dim data = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllBytes(file.FullName)
Assembly.Load(data)

When using Assembly.Load(String), everything works fine, and there are no problems.

Assembly.Load(IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file.Name))

EDIT: I tried loading the debugging symbols for my assembly with Assembly.Load(byte[]. byte[]), but it I sitll get Exceptions when trying to debug objects from third party libraries.
