Answer 1

You will need to use reflection to get the type "TestRunner". Use the Assembly.GetType method.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(@"C:\dyn.dll");
        Type type = assembly.GetType("TestRunner");
        var obj = (TestRunner)Activator.CreateInstance(type);
        obj.Run();
    }
}
