.net - How to load an assembly as reflection-only in a new AppDomain? -

i'm experienced in c# relatively unfamiliar concepts of appdomain , like. anyway, i'm trying assembly load in reflection-only context can grab of namespaces. here code have right (warning: powershell):

function get-namespaces($assembly) {     $assemblyclass = [reflection.assembly]     $winmdclass = [runtime.interopservices.windowsruntime.windowsruntimemetadata]     $domain = [appdomain]::currentdomain      # since desktop .net can't work winmd files,     # have use reflection-only apis , preload     # dependencies manually.     $appdomainhandler =     {         param($sender, $e);         $assemblyclass::reflectiononlyload($e.name)     }      $winmdhandler =     {         param($sender, $e)         [string[]] $empty = @()         $path = $winmdclass::resolvenamespace($e.namespacename, $empty) | select -index 0         $e.resolvedassemblies.add($assemblyclass::reflectiononlyloadfrom($path))     }      # hook handlers     $domain.add_reflectiononlyassemblyresolve($appdomainhandler)     $winmdclass::add_reflectiononlynamespaceresolve($winmdhandler)      # actual work     $assemblyobject = $assemblyclass::reflectiononlyloadfrom($assembly)     $types = $assemblyobject.gettypes()     $namespaces = $types | ? ispublic | select namespace -unique      # deregister handlers     $domain.remove_reflectiononlyassemblyresolve($appdomainhandler)     $winmdclass::remove_reflectiononlynamespaceresolve($winmdhandler)      return $namespaces } 

for reason, when i'm running function on assemblies system.xaml or windowsbase i'm getting these errors:

exception calling "reflectiononlyloadfrom" "1" argument(s): "api restriction: assembly 'file:///c:\program files (x86)\reference assemblies\microsoft\ framework\.netframework\v4.6.1\system.xaml.dll' has loaded different location. cannot loaded new location within same appdomain." @ c:\users\james\code\csharp\shims.xaml\generate.ps1:50 char:5 +     $assemblyobject = $assemblyclass::reflectiononlyloadfrom($assembl ... +     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     + categoryinfo          : notspecified: (:) [], methodinvocationexception     + fullyqualifiederrorid : fileloadexception

so i'd know is, how can load assembly in new appdomain? checked msdn can find methods createinstanceandunwrap, can't/don't want since reflection-only.

tl;dr: how can load assemblies in reflection-only context in new appdomain? both c# , powershell code samples welcome.

edit: here github gist of script i've made, others can repro error/test changes.

i think i've got it:

function load-assemblyinnewappdomain($assembly) {     $domain = [appdomain]::createdomain("foo")     $domain.docallback     ({         $loaded = [reflection.assembly]::load($assembly)     }) }
