Reinitialize a dll

[Morten Snedker]

A few days ago I posted the below as result of the kind reply from
Bruce. I still need an answer on:


Thanks a bunch for your reply!

What does it mean for dll to support a "reinit". How is this defined?

processes. this means unmanaged dlls are not unloaded. when it reloads
the dll are reloaded, if your 3rd party dll don't support a reinit then
they will not work.

website on this pool seems to loose references to third-party DLL-files
in the bin-folder.

What he meant was that unmanaged (non-.NET) dlls are *not* in the AppDomain
to get unloaded it only holds managed assemblies.
Does that help?

Nah, not really.

The third party dll is a .net dll and should be a part of the
AppDomain. But after the IIS performs a recycle every night, these
third-party dll's aren't accessable. Disabling the recycle works - but
that's not at long term solution.

Thanks for your reply.
