I'm trying to find "official" definition of early/late binding that mentions interfaces, but no joy. Have a bet to settle.

Let's say your code acts on interface members. You have a factory method that news up some object (say loading the assembly with Assembly.LoadFrom) which implements that interface. Is this early-binding or late-binding?

In a way it's early-binding because you know what interface type you're acting on, but can you say you're early-binding when the assembly and type are loaded at run-time?


Thanks,
Mike
