Description
For .NET 5, `NativeLibrary.Load` and `NativeLibrary.TryLoad` APIs that take an `Assembly` will be updated to follow the native assembly resolution logic of the `AssemblyLoadContext` of the specified assembly. They will go through the extension points for the AssemblyLoadContext of the specified assembly:
- Call the `AssemblyLoadContext.LoadUnmanagedDll` function
- Fire the `AssemblyLoadContext.ResolvingUnmanagedDll` event
Related runtime change: dotnet/runtime#34519
This change should first appear in .NET 5 Preview 4.
Affected APIs:
- `NativeLibrary.Load(string libraryName, Assembly assembly, DllImportSearchPath? searchPath)`
- `NativeLibrary.TryLoad(string libraryName, Assembly assembly, DllImportSearchPath? searchPath, out IntPtr handle)`
