Here's a small class I'm using to probe for a list of available plugins:
internal static class PluginDirectoryLoader
{
public static PluginInfo[] ListPlugins(string path)
{
var name = Path.GetFileName(path);
var setup = new AppDomainSetup
{
ApplicationBase = path,
ShadowCopyFiles = "true"
};
var appdomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("PluginDirectoryLoader." + name, null, setup);
var exts = (IServerExtensionDiscovery)appdomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap("ServerX.Common", "ServerX.Common.ServerExtensionDiscovery");
PluginInfo[] plugins = null;
try
{
plugins = exts.ListPlugins(); // <-- BREAK HERE
}
catch
{
// to do
}
finally
{
AppDomain.Unload(appdomain);
}
return …Run Code Online (Sandbox Code Playgroud)
