Multiple Assembly.Load(Byte[]), same instance or leak?


What happens when I call Assembly.Load(Byte[]) multiple times with a Byte array containing the same assembly ?

Will I get the same instance of Assembly for each call ?

The same assembly loaded multiple times within the app domain ???


Solution

  • You will get a new Assembly object with each call, read the documentation, there is a note near the end:

    "Note that this method overload always creates a new Assembly object with its own mapping."
