Hello,

I am using a dll say MyDll.dll.
I want add load this dll programtically without using adding its reference.
But its not letting me to implement the interface present in the dll with adding its reference.

Is there any way of doing it??

You can use Assembly.Load[^] and then reference the classes via reflection - but it's a fair amount of work and you can't use class names directly in your code in the usual way.

If you want to say things like:
C#
MyAssembly.MyClass mc = new MyAssembly.MyClass();
Then you have to add a reference.

Assembly.Load? Do you think there is a strong name? Most likely, it will be Assembly.LoadFrom...
Or it can be a native DLL, also a solvable problem...

As far as I know, you can only add an interface at compile time - certainly, it would be extremely difficult to add it via reflection.

Add a reference to the DLL: it's going to make your life a lot, lot simpler!
Why don't you want to add it?

This solution is totally irrelevant to the question, which you simply did not understand. The answer is to use reflection.
