Title
Body
I am trying to load an assembly at runtime, and I'm unsure as to why I can't create an instance of a type in the assembly using the static Activator.CreateInstance() . It works with Assembly.CreateInstance() . string assemblyFilename = "MyAssembly.dll"; string assemblyName = "MyAssembly"; string typeName = "MyAssembly.MyType"; FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(assemblyFilename); This works: var assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyFilename); Form form = (Form)assembly.CreateInstance(typeName); But this does NOT work: Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyFilename); Form form = (Form)Activator.CreateInstance(assemblyName, typeName).Unwrap(); FileNotFoundException thrown: Could not load file or assembly 'MyAssembly' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. EDIT: In both cases, after the Assembly.LoadFrom() call, I can see that my assembly has been loaded when I look in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() .
