[Mono-list] Loading System.Data

[Piers Haken]

I'll answer my own question:
	Assembly.LoadWithPartialName()

still, the docs are wrong, grrr...

This is a .NET question more than a mono question, I'm hoping someone
can shed some light on this:

I'm trying to load Assemblies from the GAC using System.Load(string). 

I'm using the code from the docs for that method:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/h
tml/frlrfSystemReflectionAssemblyClassLoadTopic3.asp
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/
html/frlrfSystemReflectionAssemblyClassLoadTopic3.asp> 

Here's my test case:

using System.Reflection;
namespace Foo
{
	class Foo
	{
		public static void Main ()
		{
			Assembly ass = Assembly.Load ("System.Data");
		}
	}
}

Pretty simple, huh? But I'm getting an exception (see below). This
worked fine in beta2 - I just upgraded to release.

Can someone try to run this for me and tell me if they get the same
error?

Is there any other way to load an assembly like this? I tried
Assembly.LoadFrom() but it can't find it either.
