how to load all assemblies from within your /bin directory

by

Well, you can hack this together yourself with the following methods, initially use something like:

string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

to get the path to your current assembly. Next, iterate over all DLL’s in the path using the Directory.GetFiles method with a suitable filter. Your final code should look like:

List<Assembly> allAssemblies = new List<Assembly>();
string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

foreach (string dll in Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.dll"))
    allAssemblies.Add(Assembly.LoadFile(dll));

Please note that I haven’t tested this so you may need to check that dll actually contains the full path (and concatenate path if it doesn’t)
