dotnet clr: for a given path, I want to load all of the assemblies so
that I can later walk the dependency graph. This function
works fine...

static void LoadAllAssembliesForPath(string path)
{
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(path);
foreach(string x in files)
{
if(x.IndexOf(".dll") > 0 || x.IndexOf(".exe") > 0)
{
//try loading this file as an assembly
try
{
Assembly.LoadFile(x);
}
catch(Exception)
{ /* swallow */}
}
}
}

however, later in processing, when I call the Assembly.Load
(AssemblyName) function passing it an AssemblyName
reference resulting from Assembly::GetReferencedAssemblies
(), I get a FileNotFoundException.

Any idea why?

thanks,

Because assemblies loaded this way are not referenced assemblies. You have
to keep a list of dynamically loaded assemblies by your self.
beset thing is if you simply add the resulting assembly reference to an
arraylist and later check if it's included.
