LoadAssembly and Reflection.

Is it Win32 DLL's or .NET assemblies?

Assemby.LoadFile methood:

C#

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles("c:\program", "*.dll");
foreach (var file in files)
{
  var assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(file);
  var types = assembly.GetTypes();
}

In most cases, Assembly.LoadFrom is more adequate. Read MSDN help pages to see the difference.
Also, I am sure that you understand that after "var types" lines the types should be used somehow, but some naive readers may not get it, so you would need to explain it. Otherwise the objects referenced by the variables "assembly" and "types" will be simply lost in each iteration.
