Hi guys, I have a class that extends an IMenuProvider interface and belongs to a plug-in project. In the UI project(other project) I've developed a menuService class that finds plug-ins that implement a IMenuProvider interface and execute the constructor method by using the invoke method. Here's the code.

...

 Type[] types = assembly.GetTypes();
            foreach (Type type in types)
            {
                if (type.GetInterface("IMenuProvider") != null)
                {
                    if (!ht.ContainsKey(type.FullName))
                    {
                        //get construct info.
                        ConstructorInfo cinfo = type.GetConstructor(System.Type.EmptyTypes);
                        
                        //invoke constructor 
                        IMenuProvider imp = (IMenuProvider)cinfo.Invoke(null);  **
                        ht.Add(type.FullName, imp);
                        RegisterProvider(imp);
                    }
                }
            } 
...

So what happens is the line marked with ** returns an error saying "Unable to cast object of type 'TestPlugin.PluginMenuProvider' to type 'Enki.UI.ComponentModel.IMenuProvider'." I know that I’m attempting to invoke the constructor method of the subclass PluginMenuProvider through the extension IMenuProvider but i don’t want to have to specify every subclass that extends the IMenuProvider interface. Now, my question is how can i invoke the constructor without having to declare and than cast each class type that extends the interface IMenuProvider like the line marked with ** does? Best regards.

Hi mike, i believe that i miss guided you. I dont want to find which types in an assembly have a custom attribute. I pretend to find which assembly has a specific custom Attribute. So, want happens is I have an assembly that i know for sure that the custom attribute and i the only way that I get it saying that it has that attribute (return true) is comparing their FullName which,i think, is a rude solution to the problem. Tanks for your help. Best Regards Pedro M.

Hi there, I’m trying to implement a plug in API in a application and I’m having problems in getting the Custom Attribute from an Assembly. First the custom attribute is something like this: [global::System.AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Assembly, Inherited = false, AllowMultiple = false)] public class AssemblyPluginAttribute : Attribute { readonly string pluginName; // This is a positional argument. public AssemblyPluginAttribute(string PluginName) { this.pluginName = PluginName; } public string PluginName { get { return this.pluginName; } } } Than in order to find a reference to this custom attribute I added to the plug-in project the following line. ... using Enki.UI.ComponentModel; [assembly: AssemblyPluginAttribute("TestPlugin")] namespace TestPlugin { ... Now ... to find if its a plug-in type assembly i look through the custom attributes of the assembly in order to find one matching with the one i defined (AssemblyPluginAttribute). The following line returns null list. Type AttType = typeof(Enki.UI.Plugins.AssemblyPluginAttribute); object[] obj = assembly.GetCustomAttributes(AttType, true); and the next one too... Attribute[] attlist= Attribute.GetCustomAttributes(assembly,AttType); but if instead of one of this two lines i use the following code ... foreach (Attribute att in Attribute.GetCustomAttributes(assembly)) { if (att.GetType().FullName.CompareTo(AttType.FullName)==0) return true; } ... it matches the full names!! I’ve tried many other ways to establish a possible comparison but none has the same result. I know, that if i found a way to get the result i desired i should stick to it an go on but I believe that this might lead me to a dead end in the future. Please, can anyone help me... to "see the light in the end of the tunnel"! :) Tanks Pedro M.
