Public Overridable Function GetAssembly ( _
    dataSource As Guid, _
    assemblyString As String _
) As Assembly

public virtual Assembly GetAssembly(

    Guid dataSource, 
    String^ assemblyString

abstract GetAssembly : 
        dataSource:Guid * 
        assemblyString:string -> Assembly  
override GetAssembly : 
        dataSource:Guid * 
        assemblyString:string -> Assembly

public function GetAssembly(
    dataSource : Guid, 
    assemblyString : String
) : Assembly

Parameters

• dataSource
  Type: System.Guid

  DDEX data source guid.

• assemblyString
  Type: System.String

  Name of the assembly to retrieve.

Return Value

Type: System.Reflection.Assembly
Returns an assembly.

Remarks

This method allows a DDEX provider to customize resolving assemblies, thus allowing code to be installed in private locations rather than exclusively in the global assembly cache (GAC).

The base class implementation resolves an empty string to the assembly in which the provider's provider object factory is implemented; otherwise it calls Assembly.Load with the assembly string.
