When I use the Assembly.LoadFile method, I have no outside access to the file

  • 0

When I use the Assembly.LoadFile method, I have no outside access to the file that was loaded into assembly until my program is closed. A StreamReader, on the other hand, allows me to close the stream when I am finished using it using the StreamReader.Close() method.

Is there some way I can do the same thing when using Assembly.Load?

Thank you,

Evan

    No, that’s by design.

    If you want to ‘UnLoad’ an assembly you have to load it into a separate AppDomain.

    If you just want to release the file you could load it into byte[] first and use the (deprecated) Assembly.Load(byte[] rawAssemly) method.
