CLR event handlers

[daddycocoaman]

Hi,

Thank you so much for creating a great library. Do you have an example of how to use the add_* and remove_* functions here?

winim/winim/inc/mscoree.nim

Line 1240 in 3abd0ae

add_AssemblyLoad*: proc(self: ptr AppDomain, value: POBJECT): HRESULT {.stdcall.}

My scenario is that I'm trying to load a bunch of DLLs and the DLLs that have dependencies on other DLLs fail to return types when calling GetTypes(). My assumption is that the DLLs have to be loaded or resolved in a certain order so that there's no dependency failure. In pythonnet, I can do something like this:

def assembly_resolve(app_domain, resolve_event_args):
    name = resolve_event_args.Name.split(",")[0]
    try:
        return next(x for x in app_domain.GetAssemblies() if x.GetName().Name == name)
    except StopIteration:
        pass
        
System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += assembly_resolve

I'm trying to accomplish the same with winim but unsuccessful.

proc resolveAssembly(domain: CLRVariant,
    resolve_event_args: CLRVariant): CLRVariant =
  echo "RESOLVING FROM: " & $domain
  echo "RESOLVING: " & $resolve_event_args.Name

  for assembly in domain.GetAssemblies():
    if assembly.Name == resolve_event_args.Name:
      return assembly

proc setupClr(): CLRVariant =
  var appDomain = clrStart()

  # Add the assembly resolver
  appDomain.CurrentDomain.add_AssemblyResolve(cast[pointer](resolveAssembly))
  load("mscorlib") # Expect resolveAssembly to be called here
  return appDomain.CurrentDomain

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Although I'm still interested in the answer to this, I solved my issue by merging all the DLLs and dependencies into a single DLL using ILMerge and I was able to get the types I needed. :)
