Hi,

The following code loaded an assembly from a file

objPlugin = CType(Activator.CreateInstanceFrom(AppPath() & "Plugins\" &
mnuItem.AssemblyName, mnuItem.ClassName).Unwrap, iGameModule)

But what if that assembly is in the GAC ?

So I could have an XML file for each plugin, and then specify the
filename and for those that are in the GAC just specify "GAC" or something.

But how do I load them then ?

Hi!

Use Assembly.LoadFrom. Specify the evidence details to load the same.
