Loading Assembly

[quwiltw]

What string is expected in the Load method of Assembly? I've tried the namespace.projectname, projectname, projectname.namespace, it still doesn't find it. I've got the project for this assembly in the same solution that I'm trying to use it, just as a separate project. Thanks for any help.

Dim assm As [Assembly]
assm = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("Plugins.SamplePlugin")

How about using the Assembly.LoadFrom and specifying the path
and name of the DLL file?

One more thing. If you are going to use the Load method, first
create an AssemblyName object, and set the Name property (or
FullName). Then pass that.

Thanks Thinker, I guess I got so focused on trying to make the Load method work that I didn't even investigate alternatives. I'm was just trying to get it working, now I need to go back and make sure I fully understand what it's doing and the relationship between loading an assembly and creating an instance from it, as I'm not real sure why I need to load it if I can simply create an instance straight from the assembly. Thanks again
