To load an assembly from the GAC, you need to specify the full name of the assembly, as in the following example:
"System.Windows.Forms, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" If you really have to use the partial name, then use Assembly.LoadWithPartialName instead of Assembly.Load. Hope this helps.
