Add class into current assembly

I have a current assembly in my application and I would like to add a class from external cs file into this assembly. Is it possible to do it? I would like to use it like plug-ins. Now I'm trying use:

System.Reflection.Assembly assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

and Activator,but without success. My application is using Roslyn, so maybe it can do it. Any idea will be appreciated.

Edit: Next problem with it is: Can I use external file (cs file with class) to get instance from this file but the constructor of class needs reference to sceneManager from current assembley. So is possible to send a reference to Roslyn of something like that and get instance of class from it?

Solution

  • You cannot modify an existing assembly that has already been loaded.

    Instead, you can compile code to a new assembly (using Roslyn, CodeDOM, Sigil, or similar libraries) and load that assembly using reflection.
