.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / January 2005Dynamic Assembly
Hello, I have Assembly (A) which dynamically loads Asembly (B). Both Assemblies are located in A's bin dir. If I query, AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies Returns an unloaded/unreferenced assembly (B) why? Assembly A does not refernce any types in B. Is there a way to prevent this assembly from loading on startup? As long as the assembly is in the app path, it will be queried by your app, even if it is never used. If you want to get around this, hide the assembly and use Reflection to dynamically load it. If you want to go to the nth with dynamic loading, you can store the assembly as code and gen it at runtime with Reflection.Emit. The source will not show up as an unloaded assembly, even if you smack it in the /bin folder. --- Gregory A.

I set the file attribute to hidden, but It still is loading the assembly. > As long as the assembly is in the app path, it will be queried by your app, > even if it is never used.
