How to refresh the referenced assembly cache?  [SOLVED]

Hi,

When modifying a referenced assembly, recompiling does not reload the assembly until I close MC.NET and open PLEditor.NET again. A similar question about this problem is posted here: viewtopic.php?t=24190

Is there any easier way to refresh the referenced assemblies without having to kill the MC.NET process?

Thanks!

Hello orad,

There is no easier way for that. Please refer to the reply posted by Dru in the topic you have specified.

Hi Henry,

Thanks for the reply. When investigating this I found out that .NET Framework 4 has something for this called Collectible Assemblies. It's something that has to be implemented at StudyServer level.

Collectible assemblies are dynamic assemblies that can be unloaded without unloading the application domain in which they were created. All managed and unmanaged memory used by a collectible assembly and the types it contains can be reclaimed. Information such as the assembly name is removed from internal tables.

Also if at a future point MultiCharts.NET upgrades to use the new .NET compiler engine (Roslyn), that may provide features to get around this problem.

Thanks,

Speaking of the internals of StudyServer, the MC.NET development team may also find this useful:

Project-less scripted C# with ScriptCS and Roslyn
