Welcome to the "wonderful" world of Fusion. If you use Assembly.LoadFrom, then you can only use the assembly reference itself to get the types. The canonical names don't match assemblies loaded using LoadFrom. To use Assembly.Load, it has to be in one of the approved search paths (which, by default, is the path of the launching executable only, plus the GAC of course).
We went through an almost excruciating amount of pain with assembly load paths and such to make all this work correctly in xUnit.net. -- Brad http://bradwilson.typepad.com/ On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 12:33 PM, Aaron Feng <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok, I got Assembly.Load and Type.get_type both to work with my own DLL. > The actual DLL have to live where ir.exe lives.
