Load Assembly from Dll

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Resources;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

    namespace AssemblyDemo1
    {
        class Employee
        {
        }
    }
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Assembly a = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            Console.WriteLine(a.GetName().Name, a.Location);
            Console.WriteLine(a.GlobalAssemblyCache);
            Console.WriteLine(a.ImageRuntimeVersion);
            Assembly otherAssembly = Assembly.LoadFile(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "\\SampleAssembly.DLL");
            Console.WriteLine("Other Assembly: {0}", otherAssembly.GetName().Name);
            Console.WriteLine("Types contained in {0}", otherAssembly.GetName().Name);
            foreach (Type t in otherAssembly.GetTypes())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(t.Name);
            }
        }
    }

Reflecting An Assembly

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Text;
   public class Tester
   {
      public static void Main()
      {
         Assembly a = Assembly.Load( "Mscorlib.dll" );
         Type[] types = a.GetTypes();
         foreach ( Type t in types )
         {
            Console.WriteLine( "Type is {0}", t );
         }
         Console.WriteLine(
            "{0} types found", types.Length );
      }
   }

Reflecting On A Type

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Text;

    public class Tester
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
   
            Type theType = Type.GetType("System.Reflection.Assembly");
            Console.WriteLine("\nSingle Type is {0}\n", theType);
        }
    }
