I have a web application that dynamically loads assemblies based on database configuration entries to perform certain actions (dynamic plugin style architecture).
The calls to the objects are in a Factory Pattern implementation, and the object is cached (in a static dictionary<> within the Factory) as the calls can be made many thousands of times in a minute.
The calls to this factory are made from both the main web application and a number of webservices, some in different assemblies/projects.
When I need to update one of these DLLs, I have to recycle IIS to get the DLL released.
As this has an impact on another application on the server, I wanted to know if there was a way I could release the DLL without restarting IIS?
