MetadataLoadContext.LoadFromAssemblyName Method

Definition

Overloads

LoadFromAssemblyName(AssemblyName)

Resolves the supplied assembly name to an assembly. If an assembly was previously bound to this name, that assembly is returned. Otherwise, the MetadataLoadContext calls the specified MetadataAssemblyResolver.

LoadFromAssemblyName(String)

Resolves the supplied assembly name to an assembly. If an assembly was previously bound to this name, that assembly is returned. Otherwise, the MetadataLoadContext calls the specified MetadataAssemblyResolver.

Resolves the supplied assembly name to an assembly. If an assembly was previously bound to this name, that assembly is returned. Otherwise, the MetadataLoadContext calls the specified MetadataAssemblyResolver.

public:
 System::Reflection::Assembly ^ LoadFromAssemblyName(System::Reflection::AssemblyName ^ assemblyName);
public System.Reflection.Assembly LoadFromAssemblyName (System.Reflection.AssemblyName assemblyName);
member this.LoadFromAssemblyName : System.Reflection.AssemblyName -> System.Reflection.Assembly
Public Function LoadFromAssemblyName (assemblyName As AssemblyName) As Assembly

Parameters

assemblyName
AssemblyName

An AssemblyName instance.

Returns

An Assembly instance.

Exceptions

The resolver returns null.

Remarks

Note that the behavior of this method matches the behavior of the AssemblyLoadContext.LoadFromAssemblyName resolve event, but does not match the behavior of Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad. (The latter gives up without raising its resolve event.)
