.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / December 2004Type loading question
Hi, When a Type contained in an assembly gets instantiated, does the whole assembly image gets loaded in memory? Thanks in advance. Regards, Cris Before a type in an assembly can be loaded, that assembly must be referenced by another assembly (unless we are talking about the primary assembly). Assemblies that are referenced are loaded into memory as the primary assembly is loaded. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Regards, > Cris Thanks Scott. My concern however is resource consumption. If the assembly image is 100KB, and I only need to instantiate one Type in the assembly (via Reflection), will a whole 100KB chunk of memory get allocated? Is there any way to optimize resource consumption in this scenario?

No, they aren't loaded until they are actually used.
