unload a dynamically created assembly

C

Chris Dunaway

I'm using the ICodeCompiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource method to compile a
VB class dynamically.

The problem is that when I create an instance of the resulting class, it
loads the assembly. If I have to execute this section of code more than
once, it loads the dynamic assembly each time so that I end up with more
than one of these assemblies in memory.

To unload the assembly, I found I must create another AppDomain but the
AppDomain doesn't seem to have any provision to load an assembly that was
compiled in memory.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,

The assembly must somehow be loaded in the new AppDomain, otherwise it can't
be unloaded.

Couldn't you have the new AppDomain compile the assembly?
