Hi

I know how to load a assembly form specified directory, using
Assembly.LoadFrom but How can I unload it? Is there something similar to
FreeLibrary?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Assemblies cannot be unloaded. You have to load them in a separate app
domain and unload that app domain when assemblies have to be unloaded.

A solution not sure to unload an assembly is to create a second
appdomain who list the loaded assemblies. When you want to unload an
assembly, you remove this assembly of the list ( stored in the second
appdomain ), then you delete the first appdomain, and you create the
first appdomain with all assemblies listed. This solution is dangerous
when you have links between assemblies, and you lost your execution
context. But it is the only solution, to unload One assembly.

As far as I know, you cannot unload an assembly. The recommended way is to
load you dynamic assemblies in a separate appdomain, and tear down the whole
appdomain when you need to unload the assemblies.
