Missing DLL

[McBainUK]

I'm having problems at runtime with DLLs and GB-PVR reporting that it can't find them. All plugin specific DLLs are located in a sub folder of gbpvr\plugins\ and I have ResolveAssemblyEventHandler method in the plugin (which strangely is not being called).

What kind of logic is in GB-PVR for resolving DLL references? Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to fix this problem..?

Try and use all your dlls at plugin constructor time, as sub tells me this is about the only time he knows what directory a plugin is in.

I've started adding a static "Version" method to my dlls as this is how I can call at the constructor without doing any other initialisation. I find it works well.

But depending on you dlls you may need to initialise a class for it to trigger the assembly resolve (sub also has this implemented).

Hope that helps.

What code do you have in the Version() method?

[psycik]

Code:

System.Reflection.Assembly myAsm = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
return myAsm.GetName().Version.ToString(3);

And if that doesn't do enough, then in that method I also initialise a class with no try/catch around it, that tends to either force an assembly_resolve or show up some other error.

You're a legend, thanks
