Using assemlby without depending on it

I am trying to use a 3rd party assembly that may or may not be available on
a given machine. Is there a way I can use the classes within that assembly
without it throwing an assembly load exception when the assembly file is not
available? I want to safely bypass the feature if the assembly is not
there.

I was going to try using the Assembly a = Assembly.Load() but there are a
lot or properties and method that I need to use. It would take forever if I
manually called GetMethd(), GetProperty(), and Invoke for every value I
needed.
