I have no clue why a default constructor would call the more complex constructor.

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

at startup of my program I want to find all instances/classes, which support an special interface.

• Create a boundary interface that defines what the plugin should do. This interface should be in an assembly available to both the plugin developer (plugins need a compile time reference to the assembly) and the application. In the case of a releasable app or something where the same team develops both sides it can go in the main application assembly.
• Create plugin classes which implement the interface and do the work.
• Write some reflection code in your main application that finds instances of the plugins in relevant assemblies, and registers them.

public interface IReportGenerator {
 void Validate();
 void Execute();
}

public void RegisterPlugins(Assembly a) {
  foreach(Module mod in a.GetLoadedModules()){
    foreach(Type ty in mod.GetTypes()){
      foreach(Type intf in ty.GetInterfaces()){
        if(intf == typeof(IReportGenerator)){
          RegisterPlugin((IReportGenerator)Activator.CreateInstance(ty));
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(fileToLoad);
