static member LoadWithPartialName : string -> System.Reflection.AssemblyPublic Shared Function LoadWithPartialName (partialName As String) As AssemblyParameters
- partialName
- String
The display name of the assembly.
Returns
The loaded assembly. If partialName is not found, this method returns null.
- Attributes
Exceptions
The partialName parameter is null.
The assembly is not a valid assembly for the currently loaded runtime.
Remarks
Important
The LoadWithPartialName(String) method is obsolete and has been retained for backward compatibility. The non-obsolete alternative is Assembly.Load(String).
Applications that load assemblies with this method will be affected by upgrades of those assemblies. Therefore, do not use this method; redesign the application to use the Load(String) method overload or the LoadFrom(String) method overload.
In .NET Core/5+, the target assembly is loaded into the current AssemblyLoadContext or the AssemblyLoadContext.CurrentContextualReflectionContext if it's set.
This method first calls Load. If the assembly is not found, this method returns the assembly from the global assembly cache that has the same simple name, and the highest version number.
