C# - Loading An Assembly Using Assembly.LoadFrom() As The Assemblies Are Located In A Different Path?
Apr 2, 2012I am loading an Assembly using Assembly.LoadFrom() as the assemblies are located in a different path from Application Base directory.
Dim oAssembly As Assembly = _
Assembly.LoadFrom("C:\MyFolder\" + ddlXlate.SelectedItem.ToString() + ".dll")
And I consume a Type from that assembly without any problem:
oXML = CType(oAssembly.CreateInstance(sBaseType + ".XlateContainer"), _
XlateBase.XlateContainer)
However, the problem occurs when I try to use a Type from this assembly from within another method like the one below:
oComboBox.DataSource = _
[Enum].GetValues(Type.GetType(sType + "+ItemEnum," + sAssemblyName))
sAssemblyName is the one I loaded using LoadFrom() actually. After it said it cannot find the assembly, I used AssemblyResolve event which solved my problem :Subscribing AssemblyResolve event :
AddHandler AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve, _
AddressOf MyResolveEventHandler
Event Handler Method:
Private Shared Function MyResolveEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal args As ResolveEventArgs) As Assembly
Return Assembly.LoadFrom("C:\PSIOBJ\" + args.Name + ".dll")
End Function
And I thought maybe the error occurs because it cannot find a dependent assembly defined in assembly manifest file I loaded using LoadFrom() already but when I checked the args.Name, I saw it was trying to load same assembly and after that it worked without any problem. So basically a type in the loaded assembly cannot be found before the event adding change.
My old code was using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Load() and Assembly.Load() methods and they were working fine without the AssemblyResolve event. I was able to reach types in dynamically loaded Assembly from every where within the same AppDomain.
LoadFrom() can find dependencies automatically within the same requested assembly path and that couldn't be problem as everything this dll needs was there. So at first it looked like a AppDomain problem to me as it looks like it seems it can reach assemblies from Load context instead of LoadFrom context and I am now using LoadFrom context.But now it seems I should pass oAssembly instance evertwhere to use any type from the loaded assembly?Doesn't it load the assembly where I can reach it everywhere (same AppDomain) using simple Type.GetType(...) method?
[2008] TONS - Set Of Default Images And Then The User Created Replacement Images
Feb 11, 2009The app i am working on is for creating theme for the iPod touch... It has to deal with LOTS of images (100's potentially) There will be the set of default images, and then the user created replacement images. I started loading all the defaults into a resx file... thinking then I could just pull them out. now that I started setting the default, this sucks! lol the app will do this, on load it will set all the images (variables) to the resx images then when a theme is loaded, it will replace the default with the user image (if the user img exists) otherwise, the default stays. Then the "screen" is drawn to show the user. so, here is just the images to build the wallpaper, dock, and status bar...

VS 2008 Make A Shell Replacement For The Windows Default Shell
Aug 1, 2009I'm going to attempt to make a shell replacement for the Windows default shell: explorer.exe. I'm not sure if its possible using Vb.Net, but I can't seem why not. My end goal is to use a custom made shell for a Windows Preinstallation Environment instead of the default command prompt. I plan to use a 3rd party program to compile the program with the .NET Framework. Otherwise, it wouldn't work because Windows PE does not support the .NET Framework.

Deployment :: Referencing Assembly From Another COM Enabled Assembly?
Apr 7, 2009I have written a .net assembly which plugs into to a third party COM application. The .net assembly is COM visible to the third party application. However this .net assembly references other regular assemblies. If I put these assemblies in the GAC the COM visibile assembly sees them without a problem. However for various reasons I do not want to put them into the GAC but I cannot get my COM visible assembly to see the other assemblies when they are in other locations. I have tried putting them in the same directory as the COM visible assembly. I have tried putting them in the same directory as the third party app's exe but neither of these work.

"System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could Not Load File Or Assembly" When The Assembly Does In Fact Exist?
Oct 8, 2009One 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.
View 3 RepliesVS 2008 : Calling A .NET Assembly From VB6?
Jun 30, 2010I have created a .NET assembly, clicked 'Register for COM Interop' on the properties page, strongly named it and compiled it. Then I GAC'd the .NET DLL manually. Calling the .NET assembly from my VB6 code with 'CreateObject("MyNETProject.class1")' gives me an automation error. I've gone through about 3 iterations of this for most of the day and cannot sort out what I'm doing wrong. I have a feeling it's got to do with my .NET assembly settings and GACing but it all seems right.

VS 2008 Conflicting Assembly Versions?
Apr 20, 2010I have a COM application (X) that references various .NET assemblies. All the .NET assemblies, with the exception of one (Y), were created a while ago and reference an earlier version of a 3rd party component, say version 1. The other .NET assembly (Y) uses a later version of the 3rd party component, say version 2.When I install the COM application (X) on the target pc, version 1 of the 3rd party component is installed in the installation directory of the COM application. The .NET assembly (Y) is installed into its own directory on the target pc and has version 2 of the 3rd party component installed in its installation directory.
When I run the COM application (X) and try to launch (Y), I get an error because I guess the COM application is forcing (Y) to use the version installed in its app.dir, in this case version 1 as opposed to version 2. Is there any way around this? It seems a bit much to have to rebuild all the projects that reference this assembly just to sync versions.
VS 2008 Could Not Load File Or Assembly
Aug 20, 2010I've had a vb.net application for quite a while. Today, when I tried to load a form (one of many in the app) in Design mode, I got the error: "Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.MSMAPI, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." This form is the only form using msmapi, and the only one that won't load in Design mode.I can edit the form's code, run the application, and deploy the application. But I cannot access this form in Design mode. It's been a few months months since I've opened this form in Design mode, but it worked last time I tried it.

VS 2008 Selectively Reference An Assembly?
Feb 10, 2012I have an industrial control program that we install on OEM equipment. This equipment falls into one of two categories; those WITH a special piece of IO hardware installed on the computer and those without.
This IO hardware has .NET 3.5 support assemblies, and is easy to program for. In my program, I reference the assemblies under the Project Properties and I'm good to go. Here's my problem... my program now seems to NEED this assembly to even start up, even if I'm not directly accessing anything in it until much later in the programming. When we ship any version of this equipment; I need to install the IO hardware assemblies whether the equipment needs it or not just for my program to run. The assemblies are bundled onto a hardware driver disk, and this sucker is 3gig.
What I would like to do is alter my program so that it runs no matter if it finds those assemblies or not. If not, then it will automatically close off certain functionallities (you can't use that because your computer don't have the hardware installed); and ideally, Visual Studio won't have 100 errors about a "missing reference". If found, then it will call them and use them normally as the program currently does.
