I'm in the middle of writing some tools that might come handy in the project I recently started on. We're going to use NHibernate ... However, I was trying to implement a little tool that allows me to point to an assembly, and to generate the ddl for the mappings embedded in it.

I create a Configuration object, load the assembly after the user selected it, and pass it on to the configuration object. However, I get an exception (FileNotFoundException), indicating that the assembly could not be loaded.

Elsewhere I found that this is because NHibernate is using Type.GetType(..), which does not work when the assembly was dynamically loaded.

Does somebody have a decent solution for this, that does not require NHibernate and other assemblies depending on it to be recompiled?

This should work better in the latest version (1.0.2), if it doesn't, please report more details - the code you try to execute, the exception you are getting, etc.

Sergey,


Thanks for the quick reaction. I am using using 1.0.2 as we speak. I have included the source code in my solution, to find out what is going on. This information might help you further:

The exception I get is a FileNotFoundException, thrown in ReflectHelper - TypeFromAssembly. An attempt to load the type with Type.GetType() did not return a type, and the code tries to load the assembly with a call to LoadWithPartialName. It is in this call that the exception is thrown.

This is the code that I wrote myself:




The exception is thrown in the last line ...

Regards,

Serge
