Title Body

i have a weird problem. i would like to delete an assembly(plugin.dll on harddisk) which is already loaded, but the assembly is locked by the operating system (vista), even if i have unloaded it. f.e. AppDomainSetup setup = new AppDomainSetup(); setup.ShadowCopyFiles = "true"; AppDomain appDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain(assemblyName + "_AppDomain", AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence, setup); IPlugin plugin = (IPlugin)appDomain.CreateInstanceFromAndUnwrap(assemblyName, "Plugin.MyPlugins"); I also need the assemblyinfos, because I don't know which classes in the pluginassembly implements the IPlugin Interface. It should be possible to have more than one Plugin in one Pluginassembly. Assembly assembly = appDomain.Load(assemblyName); if (assembly != null) { Type[] assemblyTypes = assembly.GetTypes(); foreach (Type assemblyTyp in assemblyTypes) { if (typeof(IPlugin).IsAssignableFrom(assemblyTyp)) { IPlugin plugin = (IPlugin)Activator.CreateInstance(assemblyTyp); plugin.AssemblyName = assemblyNameWithEx; plugin.Host = this; } } } AppDomain.Unload(appDomain); How is it possible to get the assemblyinfos from the appDomain without locking the assembly? best regards
