Question

I have a project that uses several class libraries that are part of my project, first AssemblyA is loaded, then AssemblyB is loaded. In AssemblyA there is code that does the following

var assemblies = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies();
var assemblyB = assemblies
                .Where(x=>x.GetName() == "AssemblyB")
                .First();
var type = assemblyB.GetType("AssemblyB_Type");

Unfortunately when AssemblyA tries to do that, AssemblyB is not loaded yet into CurrentDomain, so to load that assembly I’m doing the following unnecessary thing:

var x = typeof(AssemblyB.AssemblyB_Type);

The compiler shows warning that this line is not needed, though I can’t find words to explain it that otherwise it won’t work, so the question would be, how do you correctly (in Feng Shui terms) force Assembly load into CurrentDomain without doing extra-unuseful plumbing

Answer 1

Your existing code is the best way to do that (AFAIK).

To get rid of the warning, change it to

typeof(AssemblyB.AssemblyB_Type).ToString();
