System.Reflection.MetadataLoadContext

Provides the base class for binding algorithms used by .

Initializes an instance of .

Returns an assembly from a given assembly name.

The metadata load context object that represents the closed universe of objects loaded for inspection-only purposes. The name of the assembly. The assembly for the provided .

Represents a closed universe of Type objects loaded for inspection-only purposes. Each MetadataLoadContext can have its own binding rules and is isolated from all other MetadataLoadContexts.

Creates a new object.

A instance. The name of the assembly that contains the core types such as . Typically, this would be "mscorlib".

Releases any native resources (such as file locks on assembly files).

Return an atomic snapshot of the assemblies that have been loaded into the .

An enumerable collection of objects.

Resolves the supplied assembly name to an assembly. If an assembly was previously bound to this name, that assembly is returned. Otherwise, the calls the specified .

An instance. The resolver returns . An instance.

Resolves the supplied assembly name to an assembly. If an assembly was previously bound to this name, that assembly is returned. Otherwise, the calls the specified .

A representing the assembly name. The resolver returns . An instance.

Loads an assembly from a specific path on the disk and binds its assembly name to it in the . If a prior assembly with the same name was already loaded into the , the prior assembly will be returned.

A representing the path to the assembly. The two assemblies do not have the same Mvid. An instance.

Loads an assembly from a byte array and binds its assembly name to it in the . If a prior assembly with the same name was already loaded into the , the prior assembly will be returned.

A byte array holding an assembly. The two assemblies do not have the same Mvid. An instance.

Loads an assembly from a stream and binds its assembly name to it in the . If a prior assembly with the same name was already loaded into the , the prior assembly will be returned.

A holding an assembly. The two assemblies do not have the same Mvid. The loaded assembly.

Gets or sets the assembly that denotes the "system assembly" that houses the well-known types such as .

An instance.

Represents a metadata assembly resolver that uses paths to every assembly that may be loaded.

Initializes a new instance of the class.

A collection of assembly path strings. is . One of the paths in is invalid.

Returns an assembly from a given assembly name.

The metadata load context object that represents the closed universe of objects loaded for inspection-only purposes. The name of the assembly. The assembly for the provided .
