Hello,
I've got an app that supports plugins. It's an exe and both it and any
plugin must implement iPlugin to enable communication between the exe and
the .dll plugin. My problem is that I need to get a type from the exe from
within the plugin but if I call [Assembly].GetCallingAssembly in the
plugin's constructor, the returned assembly's name is mscorlib rather than
the exe that new'ed it. How can I get the assembly of the exe in this case?

Any help is much appreciated

Steve

Steve,

Can't you pass it tp the plugin as a property or method parameter on
your IPlugin interface?

Yea, I guess I can. It just means that I have to change a couple of dll is
all. I was trying to work around having to do that. Fortunately, I wrote all
of the assemblies so I can do what I want. It would be cool to get it
through reflection though.
