Вот фрагмент кода, который позволяет это сделать, и пример:
string path = GetAssemblyPath("System.DirectoryServices");
Assembly.LoadFrom(path);
Обратите внимание: если вам нужна конкретная архитектура процессора, так как она поддерживает частичное имя, вы можете написать такие вещи:
// load from the 32-bit GAC
string path = GetAssemblyPath("Microsoft.Transactions.Bridge.Dtc, ProcessorArchitecture=X86");
// load from the 64-bit GAC
string path = GetAssemblyPath("Microsoft.Transactions.Bridge.Dtc, ProcessorArchitecture=AMD64");
Это реализация:
/// <summary>
/// Gets an assembly path from the GAC given a partial name.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="name">An assembly partial name. May not be null.</param>
/// <returns>
/// The assembly path if found; otherwise null;
/// </returns>
public static string GetAssemblyPath(string name)
{
if (name == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("name");
string finalName = name;
AssemblyInfo aInfo = new AssemblyInfo();
aInfo.cchBuf = 1024; // should be fine...
aInfo.currentAssemblyPath = new String('\0', aInfo.cchBuf);
IAssemblyCache ac;
int hr = CreateAssemblyCache(out ac, 0);
if (hr >= 0)
{
hr = ac.QueryAssemblyInfo(0, finalName, ref aInfo);
if (hr < 0)
return null;
}
return aInfo.currentAssemblyPath;
}
