How to load assemblies located in a folder in .net core console app

Answer 1

Using .net core 1.1 / standard 1.6, I found that AssemblyLoader was not available, and

AssemblyLoadContext.Default.LoadFromAssemblyPath(assemblyPath)

gave me a "Could not load file or assembly xxx" error.

Finally this solution below worked for me - purely by adding a step to get the AssemblyName object. Hope it helps anyone who gets stuck:

var assemblyName = AssemblyLoadContext.GetAssemblyName(assemblyPath);
var assembly = Assembly.Load(assemblyName);
