Hi SAKryukov,

The AssemblyResolve handler is the same. Here's the difference:
- if the Main() function references a class that is in another assembly then the AssemblyResolve won't be called and the app will fail at startup;
- if AssemblyResolve is in your Main() method, but the reference to the class declared in the other assembly is in a different method (that is eventually called by the Main()) then everything is OK.

I have uploaded the source here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7725453/DotNET_4_0.ZIP

If you move the 3 lines of code from the DoProcess() function into the Main() the app will fail as I mentioned in my first post.

Thanks Csongi. Excellent solution! This is the last thing I would've though of...

I've tested it. It works. I guess 5 means 5 stars rating.

It works indeed.

Thanks again for your time.

Thank you for the solution, however this is pretty much the same as the app.config file (which eventually will be named MyAppName.exe.config).
What I'm trying to achieve is to keep a clean folder for my application with the executable in it and a subfolder with the satellite assemblies, no other files.

If you mean app.config - I used to have the <probing privatePath="MySubFolder"> set, but I've removed the app.config file. Is that what you mean?

I've checked. Path is Ok, the dll is there. At this time I'm only testing this (would be) solution. Both projects (the exe and the dll) are loaded into the IDE, reference is set as expected, builds just fine, but it doesn't run.

SAKryukov, thank you for taking the time to debug this. I don't know why so many posts out there (including the MS help) claim that this works when in reality it doesn't.

To answer your question: yes, I did try it with Copy Local = True and it works like charm. I can post the stack trace shortly if it is till needed.

Thanks, but this is what I'm trying to avoid. I really need to keep my satellite assemblies in a separate folder.

Thanks for the post.
After reading your post I deleted the reference then I added it again. I set the following values for the referenced dll:

Aliases = global
Copy Local = False
Embed Interp Types = False
Specific Version = False

If I copy it next to the exe then the execution hits the breakpoint at the beginning of the Main method, otherwise Main is not called, but the exception is raised before.

Correct. I copied the code you referenced, pasted it into my app, passed the proper directory path, but it doesn't even get that far.

Here's my test console app, the execution does not hit the breakpoints:


        static void Main(string[] args)
        {   // <= I place a breakpoint here
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += new ResolveEventHandler(CurrentDomain_AssemblyResolve); // <= I place a breakpoint here as well

            Console.Write("Enter name: ");
            string name = Console.ReadLine();

            ClientClass.ClientClass clientClass = new ClientClass.ClientClass();

            Console.WriteLine(clientClass.SayHello(name));

            Console.ReadLine();
        }

All that ClientClass.SayHello(string name) does is it returns "Hello {name}".
This is the exception that is thrown:
"Could not load file or assembly 'ClientClass, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

Thanks again!

Thanks for the link.
I have tried that, however as I mentioned in my initial post, the exception is thrown before any of my code to be executed, even before the static void Main(string[] args) is called.
