What is your purpose of adding a dll in runtime???

actually i need to do so because i have a couple of components in more than 1 dll and according to some condition i need to access them.

i'll give u the scenario

switch(some condition)
{
case 1:
// access method from dll1.dll
case 2:
//access method from dll2.dll
case 3:
//access method from dll3.dll
default:
//some default method
}

so according to the condition the appropriate dll would be referenced

plz help me if u can on this matter

thnx and regards

ok fine....then why are you trying to Reference the .dll in runtime.....
you have to call the methods of those dlls in runtime......but why referencing them in runtime????.... ..

add the reference of those dll s while designing your project.....as simple as that....

thanx a lot for taking intrest

wat u r saying is absolutely correct but i dont want it that way. i already mentioned it thati want to reference the dlls at runtime and not prior to that.

actually they r needed to add at runtime because lets say that the dlls are only available during the runtime.

i just need to know that whether it is possible or not and if yes then how to do it.

plz let me know if u can help

thanks and regards
