     May be i am wrong but i think that you do not need to Download the assembly with a downloader before loading it with Assembly.Load. Well, when i noticed that the assembly must be in the project folder, i had some doubt that the loader is getting the assembly directly from the project directory and not because it was downloaded. I tried to test that in a new project where i putted my DLL in the project directory then i tried to load it directly with Assembly.Load and i added it to the main Canvas and this work fine.

    I'm affraid that what i said is wrong because in all the article and codes (including Pete and Damoxc codes) i found that the loading is done after downloading the DLL, so could you check out please.

     

    I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying.

    If you mean that an assembly can be downloaded and used without using the downloader object, I assume in that instance, you had a reference to it at compile time and/or you didn't clear your browser cache. If not, I will test this in my own code and see what happens, however I don't believe anything useful happens without using the downloader to first snag the DLL.

    I was looking for clarification as to what you were saying. I take it my assumption was correct?

    Sorry all for the dup posts. Sometimes the editor chokes and hitting the spacebar in between words causes a post, while still letting you continue typing. Nasty stuff that. 

    Anyway, Assem, you are totally correct. Calling Assembly.Load() is sufficient to get the DLLs from the server to the client. Thanks for bringing that up here.

    More details here.
