Application domains, unloading assemblies and Visual Studio add-ins
It could be the title of a nice story, but it is not... a nice story :-(
So, to be able to unload dynamically loaded assemblies, we
need to load them in an AppDomain. Then it is possible to
unload the AppDomain using AppDomain.Unload.
So far, so
good. It works well when I test it in a WinForm
application.
The problem is that I need to do the same
in a Visual Studio add-in. There arise the problems! I
won't go into the details here, but I suspect that it's due
to the fact that a VS add-in is a COM object.
If someone already had to create a VS add-in that can load and unload assemblies, please help!
