Enum AssemblyLoadMethod 

pub enum AssemblyLoadMethod {
    LoadBytes,
    LoadBytesWithSymbols,
    LoadFrom,
    LoadFile,
    LoadByName,
    LoadByString,
    AppDomainLoad,
    Unknown,
}

The method used to load an assembly dynamically.

Different loading methods have different semantics in .NET regarding assembly resolution, binding context, and security. This enum tracks which specific API was used.

Variants

LoadBytes

Assembly.Load(byte[]) - Load from raw bytes.

The most common method for loading packed/encrypted assemblies. The assembly is loaded into the default load context.

LoadBytesWithSymbols

Assembly.Load(byte[], byte[]) - Load from bytes with debug symbols.

Includes a PDB symbol file for debugging. The second byte array contains the debug symbols.

LoadFrom

Assembly.LoadFrom(string) - Load from a file path.

Loads the assembly from the specified file path into the LoadFrom context.

LoadFile

Assembly.LoadFile(string) - Load from a file path (no context).

Loads the assembly from the specified file path without adding it to any load context.

LoadByName

Assembly.Load(AssemblyName) - Load by assembly name.

Loads the assembly by searching for it using the standard assembly resolution process.

LoadByString

Assembly.Load(string) - Load by display name string.

Parses the string as an assembly display name and loads it using standard resolution.

AppDomainLoad

AppDomain.Load - Load into an AppDomain.

Assembly was loaded via AppDomain.Load or similar AppDomain loading methods.

Unknown

Unknown or unrecognized loading method.

Used when the loading method could not be determined.
