Hi Daniel
The code I use is this:

  Public Shared Sub loadAssembly(ByVal ns As String, ByVal assemblyName As
String)
   Dim ass As [Assembly]
   If Not assemblyMappings.ContainsKey(ns) Then
    Try
     ass = [Assembly].Load(ns)
     assemblyMappings(ns) = ass
    Catch ex As Exception
     If ass Is Nothing Then
      'try load from fullname
      ass = [Assembly].Load(assemblyName)
      assemblyMappings(ns) = ass
     End If
    End Try
   End If
  End Sub

So if I call this to load system.data, ns would be system.data and assembly
name is the full name, version, public key etc. But even when trying to
load it with the fullname fails.

Thanks
Dan
