c# - Is there a maximum number of assemblies for a .NET app?

Question

Quite a few apps support plugins.

Are there any downsides to having a large number of plug-ins? Is there a sweet spot beyond which there's a performance degradation perhaps?

What's the largest number of assemblies you've seen loaded in an app?

Answer 1

I do not have concrete info but am quite sure you can have more assemblies than you need before you see any degradation.

Having said that, it's subjective to several other factors like 'quality' of the assemblies, system resources etc etc.
