Im not sure if the behavior changed, you may already be aware of this, but it may help to turn on fusion logging: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion DWORD EnableLog=1 you can also run fuslogvw from a vs command prompt

It normally generates the assembly DLL once per user task and any time the same user task is done again it simply loads the already existing DLL and executes it. We are using the .NET Code DOM to compile the .NET DLLs and then using reflection to call them. This is working fine in .NET 1.1, however on a machine with .NET 2.0 installed we are getting different behaviour. The code does the following: Call Assembly.LoadFrom() to determine if DLL is generated If (call Failed) { Generate DLL and save to hard disk Get Assembly from CompilerResults.CompiledAssembly } Execute method on generated Assembly DLL When using .NET 2.0 the Assembly.LoadFrom() call fails correctly the first time and then generates the DLL successfully. However, the assignment of CompilerResults.CompiledAssembly fails even though the DLL is now created. Any further calls to Assembly.LoadFrom() for the same DLL in the same process also fail, they return the error "Failed to load DLL or one of it's dependencies". However, when I then stop and start the process the Assembly.LoadFrom() calls work. It seems that the fact that the first Assembly.LoadFrom() call failed is cached in the current process and any subsequent calls to load the same DLL automatically fail. Is this a change in .NET 2.0? Is there a way around this? Thanks for any help you can give, Charles Gamble. ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by MessageLabs. ________________________________________________________________________ =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com ------------------------------------------------- Sent using http://www.DWmail.net, a free service Check your email [any email, anytime, anywhere] ------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: DWmail.net is not responsible for the content sent via it's services.
