In order to describe the problem clearly, let's first look at an example. In this example, there is abuttonon WinForm. When the user clicks this button, an existing Assembly will be loaded, and the Labelcontrol on the interface will be loaded. The FullName of this Assembly is displayed on. Friends who are a little familiar with Reflection know that this is a very simple thing. You only need to use the Assembly.LoadFilemethod to get the Assembly, and then use the FullNameattributeto display it, such as The code below:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(@"C:\testlib.dll"); label1.Text = assembly.FullName; }
exitingthis program, you will find that Visual Studio cannot complete the compilation and prompts that the file is beingotherused by the process.
In fact, our program is not closely related to this testlib.dll. Our program just displays the basic information of testlib.dll. If testlib.dll is a shared library, resource exclusive issues will affect the normal work of other programs. Assembly does not have the Unload function, but you can use AppDomainto solve this problem. The basic idea is to create a new AppDomain, load the assembly in this new AppDomain, call the methods in it, and then return the results obtained. After completing all operations, call the AppDomain.Unload method to uninstall the newly created AppDomain, which also uninstalls the assembly. Note: You cannot return a loaded assembly directly to the current application domain (AppDomain).
First, create a RemoteLoader. This RemoteLoader is used to load the assembly in the newly created AppDomain and publish an attribute to the outside world so that the outside world can obtain the FullName of the assembly. RemoteLoader needs toinheritfrom MarshalByRefObject. The code is as follows:
public class RemoteLoader : MarshalByRefObject { private Assembly assembly; public void LoadAssembly(string fullName) { assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(fullName); } public string FullName { get { return assembly.FullName; } } }
oader. The function of LocalLoader is to create a new AppDomain, and then call RemoteLoader in this new AppDomain to create an assembly and obtain assembly-related information through RemoteLoader. The assembly called at this time is naturally loaded in the new AppDomain. Finally, LocalLoader also needs to provide a new method, which is AppDomain uninstallation. The code is as follows:
process on our WinForm to the following form:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { LocalLoader ll = new LocalLoader(); ll.LoadAssembly(@"C:\testlib.dll"); label1.Text = ll.FullName; ll.Unload(); }
