Custom Component Initialization (Bootstrapping)

Hi All,

I need to perform some housekeeping before any of my custom components are loaded. Primarily this involves binding to the AssemblyResolve event to help track down my dependencies.

Currently I do this by calling a static initialization method from every component constructor. I use a common base class for all components to make this easy, and it works fine, but I was wondering if there was a less hackish way to do it.

For Rhino plugins we have the OnLoad function in the main Rhino.PlugIns.PlugIn class, which provides a good place for app level initialization. Is there a similar mechanism for Grasshopper component libraries that could be used? Or perhaps an assembly level attribute? I haven't found anything along these lines so far.

Any pointers appreciated.

Cheers,

Tom
