Yep! I could have sworn my initial proposition had "an instance of type Assembly" somewhere in there. Not the clearest communication on my part. -Charles On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 5:22 PM, Orion Edwards wrote: > Ahh, so you're really after something that "brings in" an already loaded > assembly

Orion, Yes, I can use Assembly.LoadFrom to load an assembly from a path (and I am doing that), but that's not *all* I want to do. I think the easiest way to communicate my intentions is to ask you the following question: Q: What happens when I call Kernel.load_assembly in IronRuby, provided I pa
