I imported the projects AppDomainToolkit and AppDomainToolkit.UnitTests to a solution in which I've been working to debug through your code, but it seems that two tests are failing, presumably because of incorrect paths. The error message is as such:
Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:...\CSharp\Automation\TestResults****************** 2014-07-02 14_13_25\Out\test-assembly-files\TestWithNoReferences.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I've hidden some personal information in that path but if you're interested in the knowing the full path I can tell you. I'm guessing the problem is happening because the project folder is NOT under the solution folder, and I can see that TestWithNoReferences.dll does exist in the project folder at C:...\CSharp\AppDomainToolkit-master\AppDomainToolkit-master\AppDomainToolkit.UnitTests\bin\Debug\test-assembly-files\TestWithNoReferences.dll .
Note that the test is looking under the solution folder rather than the project folder, and TestWithNoReferences.dll exists in the project folder. I can provide any additional debugging information you may need.
Please advise if this scenerio is possible.
Attempting to use this library to support plugins. where the plugins implement a simiple interface with a Run() method (that will display its own form etc)
From the examples provided I don't see a way to crea ta proxy on the host side of things that can interact with the assembly loaded in the app domain. I know I must be missing something... I dont want the host to have to have the dlls being loaded and executed in its reference list.
please advise
I downloaded a zip version of the solution and I get the following error:
Error 1 Cannot import the following key file: Key.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or manually install the certificate to the Strong Name CSP with the following key container name: VS_KEY_************************** AppDomainToolkit
Key is hidden, but the error is generic. When I tried to run sn -i Key.pfx VS_KEY_**************************, it asked me for a password which I didn't have or find in the documents. How should I fix this issue?
EDIT: I ran the sn command on Key.pfx.
Thanks for this great AppDomainToolkit!
I had an issue with the "probePaths" order in the PathBasedAssemblyResolver.Resolve() method. The solution for me was that I changed the constructor of the AppDomainContext class: I swapped the two AddProbePath() lines because I wanted to search in the PrivateBinPath directory first. There I want to load a plugin with some dependencies. Unfortunately one dependency (assembly dll) was also in the ApplicationBase path but had the wrong version. So I wanted to load the correct version of the assembly which was in the PrivateBinPath.
Maybe this was only an issue for me. But one general solution could be not to add the ApplicationBase directory to the search paths. If someone wants to add it, he could add it to the PrivateBinPath ( ';' separated) in the order he prefers.
I just want to let you know. Maybe you have other ideas how to do this correctly.
Thanks, Lorenz

but when i load the dll using the "normal way", im not getting any error.
this is my source code:
FileInfo fio = new FileInfo(dllpath);
context.RemoteResolver.AddProbePath(fio.Directory.FullName);
dll = context.LoadAssembly(LoadMethod.LoadFrom, dllpath);
var methodType= RemoteFunc.Invoke(
context.Domain,
dll.FullName,
(string fullname) =>
{
Assembly asm = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies().Single(s => s.FullName.Equals(fullname));
return asm.GetType("algoritmo", true, true);
});
Great library. Do you have any examples of hot swapping assemblies and calling methods on those classes using reflection? My use case requires loading a "plugin", calling a method on that plugin, unloading that plugin and then replacing with a new version, and then calling a method on that newly loaded plugin.
Is that possible with this library?
Hi,
First of all, thanks for the library!
While I was implementing my code with this library, I ran into an interesting issue with a piece of code that, at first glance, seems fairly normal:
using (var context = AppDomainContext.Create())
{
using (var proxy = Remote<MyType>.CreateProxy(context.Domain))
{
}
}
By the dispose of the inner block, both the proxy and the wrapped AppDomain are disposed (and therefore the AppDomain is unloaded), and by the dispose of the outer block, there is an exception because it tries to re-unload the wrapped appdomain (the appdomain wrapper object for the context is different than the appdomain wrapper for the proxy, and it is still not marked as disposed, so it thinks the appdomain is still up and running).
I've seen the code and the readme file, and I think that the idea is, if you use Remote.CreateProxy, then you shouldn't dispose the context by hand. However, this is counterintuitive in two fronts:
Anyway, it's not a bug per-se, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Thanks,
Fernando Nájera
Hi, I'm trying to use your library but I'm facing a problem. So far I've managed to load an assembly (using the method LoadFile), and inspecting the context with Visual Studio I've seen it's loaded correctly. The problem is that I can't access by code that assembly (like, for instance, using context.Domain.GetAssemblies()).
The scenario I'm using your library for is to be able to load external assemblies and instantiating and using classes inside without knowing what exact type are them (but knowing they're subclasses of other classes I know). So, I can't directly call "new MyClass()" because I don't know what MyClass is, but it's inside the assembly. If I'd be able to access the loaded assembly, I could fetch the type and do something like Type.GetConstructor().
Is there any way to access the Assembly objects loaded in the context?
Thanks.
Hi,
I am using AppdomainToolKit and my code goes as follows:
string basePath = "C:\\Uploader\\Bin";
var setupInfo = new AppDomainSetup();
setupInfo.ApplicationName = "SomeName";
setupInfo.ApplicationBase = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
setupInfo.PrivateBinPath = Path.Combine(basePath, "PluginFolder\\Plugin.dll");
try
{
var context = AppDomainContext.Create(setupInfo);
context.LoadAssembly(LoadMethod.LoadFrom, Path.Combine(basePath,
"PluginFolder\\Plugin.dll"));
return context.Domain;
}
I see that Appdomain is sometimes loading dlls from basePath (C:\Uploader\Bin) and sometimes from PrivateBinPath.
The exact issue is Plugin.dll is using Polly.dll which is signed and PluginFolder(C:\Uploader\Bin\PluginFolder) contains it. And C:\Uploader\Bin (basePath) is holding another Polly.dll which is unsigned. Now when the Plugin.dll is loaded into Appdomain its looking for Polly.dll in basePath (C:\Uploader\Bin) instead of C:\Uploader\Bin\PluginFolder and throws exception.
Am i doing the right thing in my code?
Please help me to understand the concept behind this issue and help me resolve it.
Is it possible to load an assembly into AppDomainContext
using this method? LoadAssembly is accepting only a string.
Thanks for this great library!
Unfortunately, I have an issue.
I am trying to create a sort of plugin-in based application. Where the plugins have very restricted access. Basically plain C#, and an API that will be exposed.
When I try to restrict the created app domain, it seems to instantly demand unrestricted permissions when the AppDomain gets created:
Do you have any clue why this is happening?
I've uploaded the project to GitHub, you may view it here.
Hi im new using this toolkit,
If i call LoadAssemblyWithReferences and my dll have references in the references this dont load it then i change the method to
public IList<Assembly> LoadAssemblyWithReferences(LoadMethod loadMethod, string assemblyPath)
{
var assembly = this.LoadAssembly(loadMethod, assemblyPath);
Dictionary<string, AssemblyName> listFound = new Dictionary<string, AssemblyName>();
List<Assembly> results = new List<Assembly>();
Stack stack = new Stack();
results.Add(assembly);
AssemblyName[] an = assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies();
for (int i = an.Length - 1; i >= 0; --i)
{
listFound.Add(an[i].Name, an[i]);
stack.Push(an[i]);
}
while (stack.Count > 0)
{
var info = (AssemblyName)stack.Pop();
Assembly child = Assembly.Load(info.Name);
results.Add(child);
AssemblyName[] subchild = child.GetReferencedAssemblies();
for (int i = subchild.Length - 1; i >= 0; --i)
{
if (!listFound.ContainsKey(subchild[i].Name))
{
listFound.Add(subchild[i].Name, subchild[i]);
stack.Push(subchild[i]);
}
}
}
return results;
}
And this load all the references tree...
Sorry i dont know how to make a "pull request" and i dont know if this go help..
I see that you can access the AssemblyTargets by iterating through AppDomainContext.LoadedAssemblies, but I'm not seeing a way to get a direct reference to the Assembly object. I have a wrapper class that operates on the Assembly object directly and I was adding an AppDomainContext as an intermediary layer between the Assembly and the wrapper class. Is there a way to access the Assembly object from an AppDomainContext in which the assembly was loaded?
I'm working on an app that needs to dynamically load assemblies that are needed to connect to SQL Server using NHibernate. I am creating these assemblies on the fly and then need to load them into a separate AppDomain. In your examples, I see that you are using the using(){} block to create an AppDomainContext. Instead of a using(){} block, if I have a persistent variable to hold the AppDomainContext and then manually call the Dispose() method on it, will that effectively do the same thing? The assembly needs to be released so that another instance of my driver class can load it. Will disposing the AppDomainContext also definitively unload the assembly?
EDIT: I meant to mark this with a Question label, but seems like I cannot do that. I added a follow-up question.
This would be great to have available as a nuget package; really takes the tedium out of using small libraries like this in your own projects.
Hi there,
I'm stuck trying to use RemoteFunc.Invoke to make use of a dynamic domain. It appears I'm hitting the exact serialization issue mentioned in the readme (the lambda not getting marked as serializable).
There's a class DTLogic.Slave.DynamicDomain+<>c__DisplayClass7 which is apparently trying to be serialized. Using ILSpy on my assembly, this appears to be the RemoteFunc.Invoke expression :(
.class public auto ansi beforefieldinit DTLogic.Slave.DynamicDomain
extends [mscorlib]System.Object
{
// Nested Types
.class nested private auto ansi sealed beforefieldinit '<>c__DisplayClass7'
extends [mscorlib]System.Object
{
My lambda takes a custom serializable type (InvokeRequest) and returns another serializable one (InvokeResult). I've been chipping away at these to get them happy, now everything seems to be unblocked, but then this. Doh.
Finding this library has been great and saved me a bunch of time, I'm just now at the last hurdle of actually getting it running. I'd love to hear any ideas you might have on solving this. I can post a snippet if that helps.
Here's my stack trace:
