Some other stuff that I found after 2 painful days of trial and error
1. Have an interface for the class
2. You must put the interface class in a seperate assembly. Putting it in your main assembly won't work.
3. You have to keep the assemblyversion (main, interface, the plugins) a constant and may need to sign the assembly too.

So for (2), make a standalone dll for the interface and reference it in both your main and your plugin.

Type entry = dll.GetType("PluginTest.Entry");
