Assembly.LoadWithPartialName replacement??

[i00]

i am loading an assembly with reflection through a partial name ... in this case "system"

Assembly.LoadWithPartialName(Filename)

works in this case to load the assembly but produces the following:

Public Shared Function LoadWithPartialName(partialName As String) As System.Reflection.Assembly' is obsolete: 'This method has been deprecated. Please use Assembly.Load() instead...

But when I use load i get the error:

Could not load file or assembly 'system' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Is it not quite stupid of M$ to recommend using another function to replace an existing function if it does not work the same way?

I guess i am asking if there is another way to do this, or atleast a way to hide the warning for this appearing in the warning window - as i like no warnings

Thanks

What exactly is the contents of your "Filename" variable?

This works fine for me:

Dim mySystemAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("System")

Although maybe it is just for example, but what scenario would you need to dynamically load the system assembly when its already referenced by your project?

System IS the "Filename"

When i go:

Dim mySystemAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("System")

i get:

Could not load file or assembly 'system' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

It works if the system reference is copied locally ... but i don't really want to do that
