Hi,

I am using ASP.NET 2.0, I need to obtain a reference to
System.Web.Security.CookieProtectionHelper . To do that, I need to load
System.Web.dll. However, this library is already executing and if some how I
can obtain a reference to this library then it might save me a bit of
performance. I am using this code:
Assembly systemWeb = Assembly.LoadWithPartialName("System.Web"); //
PERFORMANCE CONSUMER LINE
Type cookieProtectionHelper =
systemWeb.GetType("System.Web.Security.CookieProtectionHelper");

Any work arrounds to get the running assembly versus loading the static one?

The end result is the same, the assembly will only be loaded once. But
one option is

Assembly systemWeb = typeof(AnyTypeInSystemWeb).Assembly;

where AnyTypeInSystemWeb is any public type implemeneted in the
System.Web.

Dear Mattias,

I didn't notice that the assembly will be loaded only once. Thank you for
the tip

Regards
