load assembly into new App Domain

[Ron M. Newman]

Hi, the load method of the AppDomain doesn't take a string filename. If you
have a new AppDomain object you created and a string with the full pathname
of an assembly, how do you load it there? I can't seem to find examples
involving filenames.

thanks,
Ron

Hi, the load method of the AppDomain doesn't take a string filename.

But it does ....

I was able to find this example:
Load(AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(filename))

Is the AssemblyName class really required?

No. Look at AppDomain.Load(string).

Hi,

Filename is: "c:\\folder\\myassembly.dll"

when I use MyDomain.Load(AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(filename)) it works
perfectly.
when I use MyDomain.Load(filename) it throws a
System.IO.FileLoadExceptionexception claiming it cannot load.

How come?

Apparently, I have only used Load(string) with assemblies in the app
directory.
