Example

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;

namespace Samples
{
  public class FileLoadExceptionSample
  {
    public static void Main()
    {
      try
      {
        Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom(
                         "ModuleOnly.netmodule");
        Console.WriteLine(a.Location);
      }
      catch(FileLoadException e)
      {
        Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", e);
      }
    }
  }
}

The output is
