You need to invoke CreateInstanceAndUnwrap before your proxy object will execute in the foreign application domain. class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { AppDomainSetup domaininfo = new AppDomainSetup(); domaininfo.ApplicationBase = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory; Evidence adevidence = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence; AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain(“MyDomain”, adevidence, domaininfo); Type type = typeof(Proxy); var value = (Proxy)domain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap( type.Assembly.FullName, type.FullName); var assembly = … Read more

How do you loop through currently loaded assemblies?

Getting loaded assemblies for the current AppDomain: var loadedAssemblies = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies(); Getting the assemblies referenced by another assembly: var referencedAssemblies = someAssembly.GetReferencedAssemblies(); Note that if assembly A references assembly B and assembly A is loaded, that does not imply that assembly B is also loaded. Assembly B will only be loaded if and when it … Read more

Sounds like you could use the AppDomain.AssemblyResolve event and manually load the dependencies from your DLL directory. Edit (from the comment): AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain; currentDomain.AssemblyResolve += new ResolveEventHandler(LoadFromSameFolder); static Assembly LoadFromSameFolder(object sender, ResolveEventArgs args) { string folderPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location); string assemblyPath = Path.Combine(folderPath, new AssemblyName(args.Name).Name + “.dll”); if (!File.Exists(assemblyPath)) return null; Assembly assembly = … Read more

What exactly is an Assembly in C# or .NET?

An assembly is the compiled output of your code, typically a DLL, but your EXE is also an assembly. It’s the smallest unit of deployment for any .NET project.
