Parameters

• assemblyString
  Type: System.String

  Name of the assembly to retrieve.

Return Value

Type: System.Reflection.Assembly

Remarks

This allows a DDEX provider to customize resolving assemblies, thus allowing code to be installed in private locations rather than exclusively in the global assembly cache (GAC).

The base class implementation resolves an empty string to the assembly in which the provider's provider object factory is implemented; otherwise it calls Assembly.Load with the assembly string.
