ExecuteAssemblyByName(String)
- Source:
- AppDomain.cs
- Source:
- AppDomain.cs
- Source:
- AppDomain.cs
Executes an assembly given its display name.
public:
int ExecuteAssemblyByName(System::String ^ assemblyName);public int ExecuteAssemblyByName (string assemblyName);member this.ExecuteAssemblyByName : string -> intPublic Function ExecuteAssemblyByName (assemblyName As String) As IntegerParameters
Returns
The value returned by the entry point of the assembly.
Exceptions
assemblyName is null.
The assembly specified by assemblyName is not found.
The assembly specified by assemblyName is not a valid assembly for the currently loaded runtime.
The operation is attempted on an unloaded application domain.
The assembly specified by assemblyName was found, but could not be loaded.
The specified assembly has no entry point.
Remarks
The ExecuteAssemblyByName method provides similar functionality to the ExecuteAssembly method, but specifies the assembly by display name or AssemblyName rather than by file location. Therefore, ExecuteAssemblyByName loads assemblies with the Load method rather than with the LoadFile method.
The assembly begins executing at the entry point specified in the .NET Framework header.
This method does not create a new process or application domain, and it does not execute the entry point method on a new thread.
To create the AppDomain to load and execute, use the CreateDomain method.
