Per MSDN, calling Type.GetMethods() stores reflected method information in a MemberInfo cache so the expensive operation doesn't have to be performed again. I have an application that scans assemblies/types, looking for methods that match a given specification. The problem is that memory consumption increases significantly (especially ...
I have a 3rd party library (A). That library is referenced in my Silverlight class library (B). That Silverlight class library is referenced in my Silverlight application (C). The 3rd party library is not explicitly referenced in the Silverlight application. It seems that "A" is added to my XAP if "A" is used in any class in "B" because...
I'm trying to load an assembly that was installed as part of .Net 3.5 SP1 using Assembly.Load() by referencing its strong name. This works fine on my computer right now, but is it future proof? Will the strong name of core .Net assemblies change when patches are installed or new versions of the .Net framework are released? Edit: If .Ne...
I like to adhere to StyleCop's formatting rules to make code nice and clear, but I've recently had a problem with one of its warnings: All using directives must be placed inside of the namespace. My problem is that I have using directives, an assembly reference (for mocking file deletion), and a namespace to juggle in one of my t...

The assembly has a reference to StructureMap 2.6.1. public static class Bootstrapper { public static void Bootstrap(string databaseName) { StructureMapBootstrapper.Bootstrap(databaseName); } } I'm referencing Assembly A in a completely different Assembly (B) and I"m...
I have a VS solution (.sln) that has the following structure. Project A Project B (contains reference to Project A as well as references to 3rd party assemblies like NHibernate, StructureMap, etc) I want to use ILMerge to roll the 3rd party assemblies into the ProjectB.dll. However, I don't want to merge ProjectA. I've used the pr...
I am a C# .net developer/architect and I am learning powershell. I have the basics down packed and understand that it uses objects (.Net objects) and not just streams/text. I would like to be able to use powershell to call methods on my .net (C# library) assembies. How do I reference an assembly in powershell and use the assemlbY? ...
Hi, I have to parse (for localization purpose) .NET assemblies and create satellite assemblies. Currently, I take all the resources from the base assembly, parse them, and then create the satellite assembly. Most of the parts are solved, but if I parse an assembly containing a .xml public resource, when embedding the translated xml into...
Is there a way to scan all the assemblies in the GAC and return a list of names of assemblies with a specified Public Key Token during runtime? I know the Public Key of all the GAC assemblies that I am interested in loading, but don't necessarily know the names or version numbers. ...

I'm working with dependency injection (DI from now on) to resolve components and am looking for an elegant solution to loading dependent assemblies in a .NET environment. As an explanation, lets say that we have 3 assemblies, A, B and C, where A depends on B and B depends on C. Now I need to load components from assembly A, but because I...

Hey all, My program (a console application) references several other assemblies (many open-source libraries). I built the assembly with the "Any CPU" option set (using VS2008). When I start the assembly from a 64-bit command prompt on a Windows Server 2008 x64 machine the process always starts as a 32-bit process! I looked through my...
