Question

We have an applicaion which compiles a number of code classes to an number of in memory assemblies when it starts up. I’ve being trying to register these types in Castle Windsor but it cannot instantiate them; it says type types cannot be found.

Does anyone know if this is possible?
I’m using an XML Configuration file and have the DLL’s compiled before I instantiate the Windsor Container.
Below is an example of the configuration I am using; I do not specify the DLL name in the type declaration here as there is no physical DLL on disk.

   <!-- Register the Filtering provider, which is specified in the custom script -->
    <component id="FilteringProvider" 
               type="Optimus.Scripts.Filtering.FilteringProvider"
               service="Optimus.Filtering.Lib.IFilteringProvider, Optimus.Filtering.Lib"
               >
    </component>

Kind Regards
Noel

You can register components from code, in a specific assembly :

container.Register(
    AllTypes.Of<IService>()
    .FromAssembly(myAssemly));

Here you will pass your dynamically compiled assembly.
