AppDomain for unloading an assembly

[elektrowolf]

Hi! this[^] MSDN page told me, I couldn't unload assemblies except I load them into an extra AppDomain and then unload the whole AppDomain. But how to do this? Can someone might give me a little example? EDIT: I want to load the assembly from a file. Thanks in advance, Eric

In "How to load assemblies into..." I can only read how to load assemblies into the current AppDomain, which isn't very helpful.. :^)

It's not very obvious I'll admit: "Methods such as CreateInstance and CreateInstanceAndUnwrap of the AppDomain class can load assemblies into an application domain."

If you look in the method details for CreateInstanceAndUnwrap it includes an example for running code in a different appdomain. (You should note that the assembly that contains the object you create with CreateInstanceAndUnwrap will be loaded into both appdomains, but you can use the object to load further assembiles only into the domain the code is running in. See the CreateInstanceAndUnwrap[^] page)
