----------------------------------------------------------- From: Mrinal Message 2 in Discussion Hi Rashid , I think , i can help you in pointing out the issue with ur code , see whole problem lies with the fact that on runtime via reflection it tries to load the assembly after locating it in the path that you would have specified explicitly or using the assembly search strategy by .net framework . In your case since you have not specified an exact path and installed assembly in GAC , so you do expect it to be found there , but few things : 1. Specify assembly name using the prefix ".dll" or ".exe" as the case may be . 2. Go through the link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconhowruntimelocatesassemblies.asp As depending upon the method Load , LoadFrom or LoadFile , search pattern differs and also same thing also differs by the settings in Application configuration file , Policy configuration file , Machine Config file . In certain cases : a. If code Base attribute is available , then it only seraches at that location . 2. In some caess it doesn't searches in GAC . // Just consider the code below where i am doing the same implementation as yours with a hardcoded path where dll is available and my thing works , so you need to get into nitty gritty of same , available at above mentioned link to get the exact thing : public object ComponentInstance(string strComponentName, string strclassName) { try { string path = @"C:\Documents and Settings\mkamboj.ST-IDC\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\TestApp\bin\Debug" ; StringBuilder sbTypeName = new StringBuilder("") ; sbTypeName.Append(strComponentName) ; sbTypeName.Append(".") ; sbTypeName.Append(strclassName) ; string sTypeName = sbTypeName.ToString() ; // Load the Assembly and get it's Type . Assembly objAssembly = Assembly.LoadFile(path + @"\" + strComponentName + ".dll") ; // Assembly objAssembly = Assembly.Load(strComponentName + ".dll") ; Type objType = objAssembly.GetType(sTypeName) ; object objReturn = System.Activator.CreateInstance(objType) ; return objReturn ; } catch(Exception ex) { throw new Exception(String.Format("Component Error", ex.Message)) ; } } try this kind of stuff meanwhile if i get something more relevant i will get back to you . thanks , Mrinal ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/bdotnet/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
