Thanks for the feedback.
Can you show the code you are using to load the assembly?
I'm not explicitly loading the assembly. I'm simply passing the string to
the "AssemblyName" constructor though I've since discovered it's probably
not the correct class. That is, the exception results when I pass it this
for instance:
"System.String, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
The constructor takes a "display name" argument according to the docs which
is the above name *minus* the "System.String, " at the start (based on what
I've read about the format of a fully-qualified asssembly name).
"System.String" is what I'm trying to extract however but I don't know if
it's safe to simply parse the string myself. Can I safely assume it will
always precede the first comma that is and will it matter if I run this on a
thread with a different culture (i.e., is the comma culture-sensitive in
thsi context - I wouldn't think so). Preferably I want to use an official
function if one is available. Thanks.
