Assembly.LoadFile Method (String, Evidence)

public static Assembly LoadFile (
	string path,
	Evidence securityEvidence
)

public static Assembly LoadFile (
	String path, 
	Evidence securityEvidence
)

public static function LoadFile (
	path : String, 
	securityEvidence : Evidence
) : Assembly

Parameters

path

The path of the assembly file.

securityEvidence

Evidence for loading the assembly.

Return Value

Use the LoadFile method to load and examine assemblies that have the same identity, but are located in different paths. LoadFile does not load files into the LoadFrom context, and does not resolve dependencies using the load path, as the LoadFrom method does. LoadFile is useful in this limited scenario because LoadFrom cannot be used to load assemblies that have the same identities but different paths; it will load only the first such assembly.

• FileIOPermission  for access to read from a file or directory, and for access to the information in the path itself. Associated enumerations: FileIOPermissionAccess.Read, FileIOPermissionAccess.PathDiscovery.
• SecurityPermission  to load an assembly with evidence. Associated enumeration: SecurityPermissionFlag.ControlEvidence.
