I tied to create simple program Console App C# .NET 4.0 to load DLL file remotely. My code works as expected on load dll that on the local computer but I got problem resolve dll when trying to load remotely. I have no idea to handle this since I can't find any code example that load dll remotely.
The error I got as following.
Could not load file or assembly 'http://codesanook.cloudapp.net/dll/ZupZip.Lib.I
nterfaces.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exceptio

I also add this source code to my open source on Bitbuckget
Fixed just add this configuration to App.Config to run in full trust
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true"/>
</runtime>
</configuration>
and I also update this code at
