I get an exception when trying to use AppDomain.Load( assemblyName ). The name of the assembly for my example is "Helper." The exception reports:
"File or assembly name Helper, or one of its dependencies, was not found." When I examine the log produced by FUSLOGVW.exe, however, the loader clearly is able to discover the Version, Culture, and PublicKeyToken from the assembly I'm trying to load. I checked this by changing the version of the target assembly, re-running, and viewing the Fusion assembly binding log. As a simple test, I wrote a console application that creates a new AppDomain, supplying the AppDomain.CreateDomain method with an AppDomainSetup object, whose ApplicationBase property is set to the directory where the "Helper" assembly is located. Though it did not visibly affect behavior, I set the System.Security.Policy.Evidence of the new AppDomain object to the Evidence of the application's default app domain. I confirmed that using Assembly.LoadFrom( assemblyPath ) works as advertised. Finally, AppDomain.Load was able to work as long as the "Helper" assembly was placed in the application's base directory. What I'm having difficulty with is using AppDomain.Load to load an assembly from a directory indicated by the ApplicationBase. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
