    {
        var requestedAssembly = new AssemblyName(args.Name);
        var assembly = default(Assembly);

        AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve -= ResolveAssemblyOnCurrentDomain;

        try
        {
            assembly = Assembly.Load(requestedAssembly.Name);
        }
        catch
        { }

        AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve += ResolveAssemblyOnCurrentDomain;

        return assembly;
    }

    #endregion Private Methods
