I realize there is a somewhat related thread on this here: Loading assemblies and its dependencies

But I am modifying something and this doesn’t exactly apply.

string path = Path.GetDirectoryName( pathOfAssembly );  Environment.CurrentDirectory = path; Assembly.Load(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(pastOfAssembly)); 

Is there any really reason you would do it like this? Wouldn’t it make more sense to just use:

Assembly.LoadFile(pathOfAssembly); 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Looks like the ‘Department of Redundancy Department.’

    A lot more code than is necessary. Less is more!

    Edit: On second thought, it could be that the assembly you are loading has dependencies that live in its own folder that may be required to use the first assembly.
