AppDomain.Unload doesn't release the assembly I loaded up with Reflection
Hi All, I am struggling with an issue while loading an assembly up in a temporary AppDomain to read its GetUsedReferences property. Once I do that, I call AppDomain.Unload(tempDomain) and then I try to clean up my mess by deleting the files. That fails because the file is locked. I Unloaded the temporary domain though! Any thoughts or suggestions would be greately appreciated. Here is some of my code:
//I already have btyes for the .dll and the .pdb from the actual files
AppDomainSetup domainSetup = new AppDomainSetup();
domainSetup.ApplicationBase = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
domainSetup.ShadowCopyFiles = "true";
domainSetup.CachePath = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
AppDomain tempAppDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("TempAppDomain", AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Evidence, domainSetup);
//Load up the temp assembly and do stuff
Assembly projectAssembly = tempAppDomain.Load(assemblyFileBuffer, symbolsFileBuffer);
//Then I'm trying to clean up
AppDomain.Unload(tempAppDomain);
tempAppDomain = null;
File.Delete(tempAssemblyFile); //I even try to force GC
File.Delete(tempSymbolsFile);
Anyway, the Deletes fail because the files are locked still. Shouldn't they be released because I Unloaded the temporary AppDomain?!?!?!
Thanks in advance,
Dan
