Store DLLs in an external database

[laura.paiva]

Hi!

At the moment my add-in has all the dlls that it needs in the %appdata% folder.

I was wondering if it is possible to store all dlls, except the one that is called by the manifest, in a database and load them when Revit is opening. 

Do you know if it is possible? And if so, it will slow Revit opening?

Thanks in advance!

Very little is impossible in computing. However, the Revit API and framework do not provide any built-in support for such a scenario, so you would be on your own implementing it. I assume it would slow down the startup process somewhat, of course. How much would certainly depend on your implementation.
