The LoadWithPartialName(String^) method is obsolete and has been retained for backward compatibility. The non-obsolete alternative is Assembly::Load(String^). |
Applications that load assemblies with this method will be affected by upgrades of those assemblies. Therefore, do not use this method; redesign the application to use the Load(String^) method overload or the LoadFrom(String^) method overload.
This method first calls Load. If the assembly is not found, this method returns the assembly from the global assembly cache that has the same simple name, and the highest version number.
