I am trying to host a text template class proxy inside a new AppDomain.
I have some old scripting code that does something similar, that contains this working code:
_ScriptAppDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain(scriptDomainFriendlyName);
_ScriptProxy = (IScriptEngineProxy)_ScriptAppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName,
"LVK.Scripting.ScriptEngineProxy");
However, when I try this with my new class, with the following
_TemplateDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain(templateDomainFriendlyName);
_TemplateProxy = (ITemplateProxy)_TemplateDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName,
"TextTemplate.TemplateProxy");
I just get "FileNotFoundException", with the following details:
Could not load file or assembly 'TextTemplate, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bb70a2e62a722ace' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
What am I missing?
Basically, I have a Template class in the TextTemplate namespace (and assembly), which tries to load a TemplateProxy class (descending from MarshalByRefObject) into the new appdomain, but it appears my main assembly is not loaded into this domain.
This works if I use the older code, but not with this new one, but I can't spot the difference.
Here's some more details:
- Assembly is not registered with the GAC (neither was the old one, which works)
- I have not overridden any AssemblyResolve event (neither did the old one, which works)
I'm not averse to handling the AssemblyResolve event, if that is what is needed. I just found it odd that my old code worked, and this didn't.
