Generic Dynamic Class Factory (.net)
This code provides a simple way to dynamically load all the assemblies in a directory (by default the bin directory in your project) using System.Text; using System.Reflection; using System.IO; public class DynamicFactory { List allAssemblies = new List (); public DynamicFactory() { } public void LoadAssemblies() { Assembly thisAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); Uri thisUri = new Uri(thisAssembly.CodeBase); string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(thisUri.LocalPath); LoadAssemblies(path); } public void LoadAssemblies(string path) { allAssemblies.Clear(); foreach (string dll in Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.dll")) { allAssemblies.Add(Assembly.LoadFile(dll)); } } public IEnumerable EnumerateTypes() { foreach (var assembly in allAssemblies) foreach (Type type in assembly.GetExportedTypes()) if (typeof(T).IsAssignableFrom(type)) yield return
