Loads an assembly into the reflection-only context, given its path.
Public Shared Function ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom ( _ assemblyFile As String _ ) As Assembly
Dim assemblyFile As String Dim returnValue As [Assembly] returnValue = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom(assemblyFile)
public static Assembly ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom( string assemblyFile )
public: static Assembly^ ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom( String^ assemblyFile )
public static function ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom( assemblyFile : String ) : Assembly
assemblyFile is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
assemblyFile is not found, or the module you are trying to load does not specify a file name extension.
assemblyFile is found, but could not be loaded.
assemblyFile is not a valid assembly.
-or-
Version 2.0 or later of the common language runtime is currently loaded and assemblyFile was compiled with a later version.
A codebase that does not start with "file://" was specified without the required WebPermission.
The assembly name is longer than MAX_PATH characters.
assemblyFile is an empty string ("").
Dependencies are not automatically loaded into the reflection-only context.
You cannot execute code from an assembly that has been loaded into the reflection-only context. To execute the code, load the assembly with the LoadFile method.
The assemblyFile parameter must refer to a URI without escape characters. This method supplies escape characters for all invalid characters in the URI.
The path specified for assemblyFile is relative to the current directory. The assembly is loaded into the domain of the caller.
The reflection-only context is no different from other contexts. Assemblies that are loaded into the context can be unloaded only by unloading the application domain.
for reading a URI that begins with "file://". Associated enumeration: FileIOPermissionAccess..::.Read
for reading a URI that does not begin with "file://".

Helped but still not loading everything.
Need a better demo.
