MetadataLoadContext.LoadFromAssemblyPath(String) Method

Definition

Loads an assembly from a specific path on the disk into the MetadataLoadContext. If a prior assembly with the same name was already loaded into the MetadataLoadContext, the prior assembly is returned.

public:
 System::Reflection::Assembly ^ LoadFromAssemblyPath(System::String ^ assemblyPath);
public System.Reflection.Assembly LoadFromAssemblyPath(string assemblyPath);
member this.LoadFromAssemblyPath : string -> System.Reflection.Assembly
Public Function LoadFromAssemblyPath (assemblyPath As String) As Assembly

Parameters

assemblyPath
String

A String representing the path to the assembly.

Returns

An Assembly instance.

Exceptions

The two assemblies do not have the same Mvid.

Remarks

Loading an assembly does not automatically make it available for resolution by name. References to the assembly and calls to LoadFromAssemblyName are resolved through the MetadataAssemblyResolver, which may return the loaded assembly.
