To load assemblies into other application domains, use a method such as CreateInstanceAndUnwrap.

For information that is common to all overloads of this method, see the Load(AssemblyName^) method overload.

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.

WebPermission

for the ability to access the location of the assembly if the assembly is not local.
