Question regarding AppDomains.

[Evan Camilleri]

I am creating an DLL dynamically. Sometime or another this DLL must be
recompiled and thus a new version must be uploaded.

I was told that to do this I have to load the assembly in a seperate domain.

The issue is that I do not know at design time what is in the dynamic DLL.
I need to create an instance of the class in that DLL, and get the methods
in that DLL (for which I know the names). Working with Activator class was
simple.... with AppDomains it is more complicated.

So what should I do? How can I load the instance and most important get
reference to a particular method in that instance.

Rick Strahl has a great article on code generation that includes examples of
how to host your objects in another appdomain.
