Assembly loading strategy misc notes (continuously updated)

 

• Load from GAC
• Load from private path

   1: <runtime>

   2:   <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">

   3:     <probing privatePath="myPrivatePath"/>

   4:   </assemblyBinding>

   5: </runtime>

• Change machine.config to load from anywhere globally on your machine
  
• Overwrite private path setting

   1: <runtime>

   2:   <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">

   3:     <probing privatePath="myPrivate"/>

   4:     <dependentAssembly>

   5:       <assemblyIdentity name="MyAssemblyPath"

   6:                         publicKeyToken="abcd"

   7:                         culture="neutral" />

   8:       <codebase href = "file://localhost/D:/Temp/DLL/MyAssembly.dll">

   9:       <!--Redirection and codeBase policy for myAssembly.-->

  10:     </dependentAssembly>

  11:   </assemblyBinding>
