Load an assembly using a relative path

T

I would like to create a routine that loads an assembly only knowing
it's name (like abc.dll) which I know is in the same directory as the
executing assembly. Do all methods require an absolute path? Is there
a way around this? Thanks!

Do all methods require an absolute path?

No. And even if they did, you could easily get it. Just find the
directory of the current assembly (from Assembly.Location for
example), and add the file name of the other assembly.

You can use the "~" operator if the assembly is with in any of the subfolders
of the application path.
