Bind dinamicly dlls without createobject

[Halimaji Nijazi]

Hi

I like to bind dll (which were written in .net) on runtime without using
createobject.

What I am trying to do is following:

I have a folder where I like to store some dlls. My program must be able to
read the dlls a call known functions from these dlls, without installing
them and so...

Is this possible?

Thanks for the answers

Hi,

You can do it with activator.createinstance and
assembly.loadfrom

As said in the German VB.NET group:

'Assembly.Load*', 'Activator.CreateInstance':
