In case anyone else stumbles upon this question, and you are using a dynamic assembly name: make sure you are stripping the assembly name, it may contain version, culture and other content that you may not use.

I.e., your MyResolveEventHandler should be in the form of:

static Assembly^ MyResolveEventHandler( Object^ sender, ResolveEventArgs^ args )
{
    Console::WriteLine( "Resolving..." );

    String^ assemblyName = args->Name;

    // Strip irrelevant information, such as assembly, version etc.
    // Example: "Acme.Foobar, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
    if( assemblyName->Contains(",") ) 
    {
        assemblyName = assemblyName->Substring(0, assemblyName->IndexOf(","));
    }

    Assembly^ thisAssembly = Assembly::GetExecutingAssembly();
    String^ thisPath = thisAssembly->Location;
    String^ directory = Path::GetDirectoryName(thisPath);
    String^ pathToManagedAssembly = Path::Combine(directory, assemblyName );

    Assembly^ newAssembly = Assembly::LoadFile(pathToManagedAssembly);
    return newAssembly;
}
