"Insufficient state to deserialize the object. More information is needed." AppDomain Load

[Sean McKaharay]

I am using the code below and I am getting this error:
"Insufficient state to deserialize the object. More information is needed."
Has anyone seen this? It is working with other dll's but not on a certain
one. Can some help?




private void LoadAssembly(string DllLocationDirectory, string
applicationName, bool shadowCopyFiles, string friendlyName, string dllName,
string className)
{
AppDomainSetup setup = new AppDomainSetup();
setup.ApplicationBase = DllLocationDirectory;
setup.ApplicationName = applicationName;
setup.ShadowCopyFiles = shadowCopyFiles.ToString();
setup.ShadowCopyDirectories = DllLocationDirectory;

this._AppDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain(friendlyName, null, setup);

SetAppDomainPolicy(_AppDomain);

byte[] AssemblyBtyes = this.LoadAssemblyBytes(DllLocationDirectory +
dllName);
Assembly asm = this._AppDomain.Load(AssemblyBtyes);
this._ClassLoaded = asm.CreateInstance(className);
}

private byte[] LoadAssemblyBytes(string filename)
{
FileStream fin = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read);
byte[] bin = new byte[16384];
long rdlen = 0;
long total= fin.Length;
int len;
MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream((int)total);
rdlen = 0;
while(rdlen < total)
{
len = fin.Read(bin, 0, 16384);
memStream.Write(bin, 0, len);
rdlen = rdlen + len;
}
// done with input file
fin.Close();
return memStream.ToArray();
}

This error is caused because it can't load a particular assembly. Make sure
the assembly is findable, for example by placing it into the GAC or the
program directory of the .exe which is doing the deserialization.

Fran,

It has to be deeper than that. When I try another dll it works.

Sean,

Can you give all the Exception information (call stack, message, etc,
etc), as well as the line it occurs on?
