Dynamically Loading Assemblies in ASP.NET

Hi,

I want to load assemblies dynamically in ASP.NET application. Actually, I
have a dll for each database that my application is supporting. The dll to
be used is specified in the configuration file.

I have written a ClassLoader that loaded the classes dynamically from the
assemblies in the current directory. ClassLoader is working perfectly when I
am using it from my windows application that also loads the database driver
dlls. I want to use the same ClassLoader in ASP.NET application.

What I want to know is that where should I placed the dlls so that the I can
load them dynamically?
Also, is there any standard method to load the .NET assemblies in ASP.NET
applications?

Regards,
Danish

You must play with AppDomain to have a full control about loading directory
and to have the possibility to unload DLL.
See

for more.
