MetadataLoadContext.LoadFromByteArray(Byte[]) Method

Definition

Loads an assembly from a byte array 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 ^ LoadFromByteArray(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ assembly);
public System.Reflection.Assembly LoadFromByteArray(byte[] assembly);
member this.LoadFromByteArray : byte[] -> System.Reflection.Assembly
Public Function LoadFromByteArray (assembly As Byte()) As Assembly

Parameters

assembly
Byte[]

A byte array holding an 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.
