I have installed WPF Toolkit: Location: C:\Program Files\WPF Toolkit\v3.5.40320.1\WPFToolkit.dll Name: WPFToolkit, Version=3.5.40128.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35

I have installed WPF Toolkit:

Location: C:\Program Files\WPF Toolkit\v3.5.40320.1\WPFToolkit.dll  Name: WPFToolkit, Version=3.5.40128.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35  Type: Library

I can load it by full path:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom('C:\Program Files\WPF Toolkit\v3.5.40320.1\WPFToolkit.dll')

But can’t load by assembly name:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('WPFToolkit, Version=3.5.40128.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35')  [System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load('WPFToolkit, Version=3.5.40128.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35')

What is a solution?

  1. Loading by assembly name doesn’t work because the WPFToolkit assembly is neither in GAC nor in the PowerShell directory. There are several options:

    • load it by path
    • add it to the GAC
    • change powershell.exe.config to look in the WPF Toolkit directory
    • handle the AppDomain.AssemblyResolve event (not particulary easy in PowerShell V1)
