Unable to load System.Windows.Controls Assembly in powershell

Question

I have been trying to load an assembly in powershell using command as follows:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Controls")

It's not working.

Answer 1

Wells its already loaded.

Try running this.

$ExportedTypes = [appdomain]::CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() | select ExportedTypes
Foreach($ExportedType in $ExportedTypes){
    $ExportedType.ExportedTypes | ?{$_.FullName -like "system.windows.controls*"} | select FullName, Module
}

If you get any results it is already loaded.

The Assembly you are loading is actually part of PresentationFramework.dll
