C# Passing data from client to DLL

Question

I have a client that has a number of plugin dll's that communicate via a single interface. Within the client, their is often a change of database.

This state is maintained internally by a simple string.

How would be the best way to update the dll's when this changes. Should I simply create a stringbuilder(reference type) and pass that through the interface to the each dll?

Or is there a way that the dll can monitor an event on the client for this?

Thanks.

You can use observer pattern. Here is a definition and example of observer pattern:
