Restart ASP.NET application when folder contents change

Question

I\'m writing a web application that will have \"plugins\". The plugins will be .DLL files which will export their functionality through predefined interfaces \'n stuff. All

Answer 1

IF the plugins directory is under your Bin directory, the web app will automatically be restarted when anything changes.

Answer 2

The FileSystemWatcher class is a general solution to these kind of problems, and HttpRuntime.UnloadAppDomain(); is one way to restart your app. I think more research/explanation is required: there are many possible solutions.

Edit: Probling Paths. Nice answer.
