Dynamically load a type from an external assembly
- by Water Cooler v2
From managed code, how do I load a managed type from another assembly at runtime, assuming the calling code does not have a static reference to the assembly?
To clarify, let's say I have class Lib in Lib.cs compiled into Lib.dll. I want to write a class Foo in a separate assembly called Foo.dll, that does not have a reference to Lib.dll statically, but instead loads Lib.dll and then reflects on for the presence of the class Lib and then calls a method on it.
Sorry for such an obvious question on Reflection. I figure it'll take much lesser time to get the answer on a forum that to read a few articles.
