SomePlugin is a class library projects which contains 3 UserControls.Ev ery
user control has its own functionality like save,clear,edit ....etc.

i buit that SomePlugin Project for generation a .dll .

In my MainApplication i had one folder called Plugins.i copied SomePlugin
dll in that folder.

In MainApplication if i click on a button i need to load the SomePlugin
library dynamically and need to show that UserControl names as linkButtons
in one panel.

Hello, chandu!

If you want to unload assemblies from memory you have to load them into
separate Application Domain.

Hi Chandu,

the link will help you loading an assembly dynamically,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dncscol/html/csharp05162002.asp?frame=true&hidetoc=true

An assembly is loaded dynamically... (Assembly contains a control),
other words control is accessible or loaded in to memory...

Umm... Problem if single assembly contains multiple controls.....

Thanks
