DongMan: How to dynamically loading and initializing an assembly

Prerequisite: Follow the link How to create a new project to create your application with LinsUIWPF Suite.

1. Assume you have an assembly AdvanceOperation.dll, and the assembly has the following initialization class and method,

namespace AdvanceOperation

{

public static partial class InitializeAdvanceOperation

{

public static void Initialize(bool bInitializeCommands, string csUser)

{

///////////////////////////////////

// Do initialization here

///////////////////////////////////

}

Then add the following codes at the place where you want to load and initialize the specified assembly,

Option 1:

object[] args = { true, "Dongman" };

string csAdvanceOperationAssemblyFullName = “C:\\Users\\Dongman\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2012\\Projects\\Demo\\Demo\\Release\\AdvanceOperation.dll”;

LinsUIWPFUtil.InitializeAssembly(

csAdvanceOperationAssemblyFullName,

"Customization.InitializeCustomization",

"Initialize",

args);

Option 2: If you just want to load the assembly without initialization, then the codes will look like the following,

string csCustomizationAssemblyFullName = “C:\\Users\\Dongman\\Documents\\Visual Studio 2012\\Projects\\Demo\\Demo\\Release\\Customization.dll”;

LinsUIWPFUtil.InitializeAssembly(

csCustomizationAssemblyFullName,

null,

null);
