dynamically loading assemblies

#1

i want to dynamically load .dll files and then get value of a satic property. i am doing this but getting an error:

Assembly asm = Assembly.LoadFrom(dllPath);
Type type = asm.GetType();

PropertyInfo propertyInfo = type.GetProperty("info");

Info info = (Info)propertyInfo.GetValue(null,null);

info is the name of the static property. but when i do GetProperty the propertyInfo object is undefined.

You're using asm.GetType, which will always be typeof(Assembly), which
won't have your property. You need to get whichever type you're
interested in from the assembly.
