>Is there any way to clear the cached dll's in vb.net code? Basically we have app that has numerous dlls, and when we do updates we have noticed that (randomly) even though users logout of application some dll's get cached and the updated dll is not being used unless PC is restarted.

I had a similar issue while trying to add new methods to my com class. What I ended up doing on the web server was (at the command prompt)

net stop w3svc

wait until services stop, then restart them

net start w3svc

This forces clear any dlls for the new ones to be recompiled and loaded next cycle.
