Re: FileNotFoundException'

Thanks - as it turns out I am directly using the instantiated class - I
wasn't thinking clearly.

I call a method in a library which returns me an object which implements a
specific interface (IDirectoryWatch). The library finds out which concrete
class to instantiate from configuration and uses reflection to perform the
instantiation.

My program really only knows the interface, but I need to reference the
concrete class which is instantiated by the library ... odd, actually isn't
it? What happens if the library is altered (or just confugured differently)
and returns another type of object, but which still implements
IDirectoryWatch? Do I need to recompile my program?

Hmm.
