MDI and Reflection

[John]

Hello All,

I've created an MDI application that loads child forms via reflection. It
works well.

What I'd like to do is possibly use an AppDomain to load and unload these
forms for versioning purposes. I've searched high and low for this on the
internet and from what I've read I'm not sure this can be done?

Is it possible to load a child form into an MDI through a separate
AppDomain, then unload the AppDomain so a new version of the child
form/assembly can be loaded? If anyone has any sample code that demostrates
this, I'd REALLY appreciate the assistance!!

Thank you in advance for the help!
John

I haven't done much with AppDomains. But I believe that because of the
restrictions of data sharing between AppDomains, an MDI parent (or any
Control instance, for that matter) and its children all have to be
instances in the same AppDomain.

If you can put the parent in the necessary AppDomain, then I think that
should work.
