Casting Error with Reflection
- by Mitchel Sellers
I have an application that uses plugins that are managed via an interface I then dynamically load the plugin classes and cast them to the interface to work with them.
I have the following line of code, assume that IPlugin is my interface.
IPlugin _plugin = (IPlugin)Activator.CreateInstance(oInfo.Assembly, oInfo.FullyQualifiedName)
This should be pretty simple, create the instance and cast it to the interface. I know that the assembly and fully qualified name values are correct, but I am getting the following exception.
Exception=
System.InvalidCastException: Unable to
cast object of type
‘System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjectHandle’
to type
‘MyNamespace.Components.Integration.IPlugin’.
at
MyNamespace.Components.Integration.PluginProxy..ctor(Int32
instanceId)
Any ideas what could cause this?
