Load Assembly Using Reflection?
Apr 19, 2011I 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.

.net - Reading Properties In Assembly Via Reflection?
Mar 19, 2011I have a self-generated code in one assembly which in some of the lines includes properties, I was wondering how can I retrieve them? Especially when that class is a view object and does not contain any parameters so we can do it by data adapter and finding for example insert or update parameter.

C# - Finding All Namespaces In An Assembly Using Reflection (DotNET)
Oct 10, 2009I'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?
Deployment :: Reflection Error Loading Assembly?
Jun 18, 2008i am writing a simple games client using an XNA 2.0 engine to play games. The games are written in dll files and the client uses the assembly.loadfrom method to read and execute the games accordingly...Now this all works fine on my computer and my laptop. However when i give it to my friend he gets this error and the dll doesnt load - "Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the loader exceptions property for more information"

View 2 RepliesCalling Methods In Non-assembly (non-managed) Dlls Through Reflection In .net?
Dec 26, 2011I 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?
UNLOAD An Assembly That Was Loaded By Using System.Reflection.Assemblie.Load Method?
Jan 15, 2007Our 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?

Within the Company.Project.vbproj assembly, I have a class FriendClass.vb which scope is Friend (internal in C#).Now I wish to test this FriendClass.vb from within the Company.Project.Tests.vbproj assembly. I know about the InternalsVisibleToAttribute, but that is not an option in Visual Basic .NET 2.0, as it is only available with C#, in .NET 2.0 (see here).I would like to create myself a proxy class using this internal FriendClass from within my testing assembly, so that I could instantiate it and do the testings accordingly.

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?

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.
View 5 RepliesVisual Studio 2008 - Reflection - Iterate Object's Properties Recursively Within Own Assemblies?
Sep 11, 2009I wonder if anyone can help me - I've not done much with reflection but understand the basic principles.What I'm trying to do:I'm in the process of developing a class that gathers a lot of information about the local system, network, etc... to be used for automated bug reporting. Instead of having to change my test harness every time I add a new property, I'd (ideally) like to be able to serialise the lot as an XML string and just display that in a textbox.
Unfortunately, the Framework won't use the default XML serializer on read-only properties (which almost all of mine are) as they wouldn't deserialize properly [Not sure I agree with the assumption that anything serialized must be de-serializable - MS says this is a feature "by design" which I suppose I can understand - Perhaps a tag to indicate that it should be serialized anyway would be advantageous?]
The initial approach was to make properties gettable and settable (with a throw exception on the setter) but the amount of work tidying this up afterwards seems a little excessive and I would want the properties to be read-only in the final version.What I need help with:My current plan is to use reflection to recursively iterate through each (public) property of my topmost gathering class. The problem is, the samples I've seen don't handle things recursively. Additionally, I only want to inspect an object's properties if it's in one of my assemblies - Otherwise just call .ToString on it.
If I don't have the inspection limited to my assembly, I assume I'll get (say) a string which then contains a Length which in turn will have .Tostring method.For the purposes of this project, I can almost guarantee no circular references within my code and as this will only be used as a development tool so I'm not too concerned about it running amok now and then.
VS 2008 : Work Properly With The Reflection To Create A Module/plugin-based Application?
Sep 24, 2009I have found a lot of articles about Reflection and know how to create a class. I'm practicing how to work properly with the reflection to create a module/plugin-based application.So I found a simple example which is working great, but it isn't dynamic enough, 'cause it is hard-coded. I need to read all the .dll's from the application.startuppath & "modules" & *.dll and get there names (without the .dll).Code is was testing for practice returns the form (I know that this is not the correct way to call the dll dynamically):
vb.net

"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.
