Sounds great, I tried what you said with two assemblies: one is the
Structs.dll (*Struct.cs) and the other Plugin.dll (Plugin.cs and the
interface IPlugin.cs), then I compiled MyApp with

mcs MyApp.cs -r Structs.dll

And then tried to cast it, and it fails:

Test7.cs(20) error CS0246: Cannot find type `IPlugin'

Also I did a Console.WriteLine to 't' (Type) and prints
MBloggy.Plugins.IPlugin.

Seems that I can't cast an interface, or what I'm doing wrong?.

 Assembly a;
 Type t;
 MethodInfo my_method;

 a =3D Assembly.LoadFrom("BloggerPlugin.dll");
 t =3D a.GetType("MBloggy.Plugins.IPlugin");
 Console.WriteLine(t);

As I said, I'm testing what you suggested, but with Reflections the
plugins are working great!

Thanks
Pablo
