sh3rIIf Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I'm busy with a app that needs to call a sub in a DLL to which I don't know the name. In other words, the DLL name will be supplied in a registry setting and the app will then need to call a sub in that DLL. Sort of like a plug-in. The problem is that I can't reference the DLL because I won't know the name of the DLL until run-time. Is this even possible? Quote
AndreRyan Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 You need the System.Reflection namespace Create an Assembly class for the DLL (If it's a .Net DLL) You need to create an instance of the class that owns the function(This should implement a certain Interface) Then you can access the functions, There is a tutorial in the Tutor's section or you can use the search feature on the forums Quote .Net allows software to be written for any version of Windows and not break like Unmanaged applications unless using Unmanaged procedures like APIs. If your program uses large amounts of memory but releases it when something else needs it, then what's the problem?
