Assembly Loading question

[Andre Azevedo]

Hi,

I'm using SA4 and I need to know how SA works on the following scenario:

One class library A that references another class library B. Assembly A was obfuscated with SA setting assembly B with dependency merging. So far so good.

Now, I've a console app X, that also references assembly B. On the X app, I use reflection to load obfuscated assembly A. The question is: Which assembly B the code from Assembly A will use? The one from X app or the one from Assembly A (that was dependency merged)?

Thanks!

A will always use the merged version, since once an assembly is merged into another assembly, it genuinely becomes part of that assembly, and it would be impossible for types to be resolved outside.

The console app will definitely not use the merged copy directly.
