I created an activeX exe (registered with regasm.exe) that loads a DLL with
Dim a As System.Reflection.Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(FullPath)
This DLL works with an Interface "PSInterface". As normal exe it works, but when i call that activex object i am getting a ReflectionTypeLoadException
in a.GetTypes
. When i look into that error i get the following:
Could not load file or assembly 'PSInterface, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The System cannot find the file specified.
The PSInterface.dll is in the same folder as the exe and dll.
What can i do?
CodePudding user response:
To load the Assemblies from the same folder, I set AddHandler AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve, AddressOf LoadFromSameFolder
and the Function
Private Shared Function LoadFromSameFolder(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As ResolveEventArgs) As Assembly
Dim folderPath As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)
Dim assemblyPath As String = Path.Combine(folderPath, New AssemblyName(args.Name).Name & ".dll")
If Not IO.File.Exists(assemblyPath) Then
assemblyPath = Path.Combine(folderPath, New AssemblyName(args.Name).Name & ".exe")
If Not IO.File.Exists(assemblyPath) Then
Return Nothing
End If
End If
Dim assembly As Assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyPath)
Return assembly
End Function
Thanks @Craig for your help.
