Assembly.LoadFrom

[dbhurt15@gmail.com]

Let me say first that I'm brand new to .NET

I'm having a small issue. I'm working on a large project. My part is
using a .dll located in another directory. I'm having problems
referencing to that external dll

What I'm doing right now is using this on form load:
Dim Asmpath As String = ("C:\Common\new Lib.dll")
Dim Asm As System.Reflecti on.Assembly =
System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Loa dFrom(Asmpath)

but when I debug i get this exception:

Could not load file or assembly 'newLib, Version=1.0.0.0 ,
Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= ae2fc87ca760880 d' or one of its
dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I know I must be using Assembly.LoadFr om wrong or am leaving something
else out. Any ideas to help along?

Why not just add a reference to the dll. It will load a copy any time you
execute and the dll has changed from your last execution.

It sounds to me like that dll depends on another dll which you don't have in
your working directory, nor in the common directory.

I don't know whether anyone from Microsoft regularly reads the Visual Basic
groups but if they do then I am very surprised that they permit one of their
own MVPs to engage in such outrageous long term trolling activities in one
of their own public newsgroups, such as the activity that the person who
purports to be Bill McCarthy has engaged in on the
microsoft.publi c.vb.general.di scussion group for many months. If this man
belongs to you:

.. . . then perhaps you might like to look at his activity in that group.
Here for example is one of his very latest offerings:

Yeh, still a way to go. I think given the warm reaction today,
and given some folks have learning difficulties around here
(obviously why they are still *stuck* in VB6 *only*), might
just have to ramp things up a notch or two, and make it more
toasty :D
