Force resolver refresh

Hi Nick,

So I assume you have removed/re-added the reference to your IProjectAssembly, and it brought back the same thing?  If so, at this time you may need to Remove it from the FileBasedAssemblyRepository too in between your Remove/Add for the project assembly references.  See if that helps.  It should see a different assembly modification date and overwrite the cached data.

I tried that and was unable to get it working. Any other ideas or code snippets?

Hi Nick,

I'm not sure what else to suggest without being able to debug it.  If you'd like us to take a look, can you put together as simple of a repro scenario as possible and e-mail the ZIP to our support address?  Reference this post and be sure to rename the .zip file extension so it doesn't get spam blocked.

It's pretty easy to repro - open up your C# editor in the sample browser and add a reference to class library with one method: Method1(). All works as expected.

Then add Method2() to the class library, recompile, and re-reference in the sample browser. At this point the sample browser crashes for me, but in my real project the new method isn't picked up.

Please note that this is only an issue when the version of the class lib doesn't change.

Hi Nick,

The problem here is that Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad detects it's the same assembly name/version that already was loaded into the app domain.  Perhaps you could just update the revision number of the version?

If you will be dynamically updating assemblies without updating versions, you'd likely need to load the assembly into a separate AppDomain.  Then get your FileBasedAssemblyRepository and call Remove on the old one, and Add the new one from within the separate AppDomain.

Then go back to your main thread and remove/add the reference from your project.  I believe the new assembly will then get picked up.

Thanks for the info. I may try to implement what you suggest, or simply make it a requirement for the version to change.

Hi

Im having a similar problem. I configure the syntax editor document with a DotNetSyntaxLanguageBase (usually CSharp but can also be VB). Im using MVVM and so need to do a bit of work in code as the ISyntaxLanguage property is not a dependancy property (hint hint..). This works and I can use intellisense for the referenced assemblies.

 I allow the user to select and add a new assembly reference which I add to the project as shown below. But the intellisense in the editor does not update? Am I missing something? Thanks

internal static void AddReference(DotNetSyntaxLanguageBase syntaxLanguage, Assembly assembly)
    {
      IProjectAssembly project = syntaxLanguage.GetService<IProjectAssembly>();
      project.AssemblyReferences.Add(assembly);
    }

Duhh, sorry I forgot to add a using statement, it now works when I do that. Im so used to VS adding a using for me that I forgot to do it myself...
