[Mono-devel-list] Assembly.Load() doesn't work with the GAC?

[Lluis Sanchez]

To load from the GAC you have to provide the full assembly name,
including version. For ByteFX.Data it would be: ByteFX.Data,
Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756.

You can also use Assembly.LoadWithPartialName("ByteFX.Data"), but beware
that it is not defined which version will it return if there is more
than one. Most of the time you want a specific version, so Load() is a
better solution.
