Parameters

assemblyPath

string

Type

Description

AssemblyThe loaded assembly.

Remarks

Unity automatically loads script assemblies and managed plug-ins. To load any other assemblies from a file, use this API. This is a safer alternative to .NET's Assembly.LoadFrom(string) in the Unity context. Unlike 
Assembly.LoadFrom
, assemblies loaded with this API are guaranteed to work correctly with code reload.
Additional Resources: CurrentAssemblies.LoadFromBytes.

Examples

using UnityEditor;using UnityEngine;using UnityEngine.Assemblies;public class AssemblyLoadingFromPath{    [MenuItem("Test/Load Assembly From Path")]    static void LoadAssemblyFromPath()    {        var assembly = CurrentAssemblies.LoadFromPath(@"C:\Some\Path\To\TheAssembly.dll");        Debug.Log(assembly.FullName);    }}
