How to load assembly from GAC?

Question

I am trying to use Assembly.Load () to load an assembly located in the GAC. For example, let's say I want to list all the types that exist in PresentationCore.dll , how can I immerse PresentationCore.dll ?

When I try this:

Assembly a = Assembly.Load("PresentationCore.dll");

I get a FileNotFoundException . Another answer to SO suggested that I used Assembly.LoadFrom () for this - I hesitate to do this because Assembly.LoadFrom () is deprecated according to Visual Studio 2008 - plus it doesn't seem to actually work.

Any ideas?
