Description

_This issue has been moved from [a ticket on Developer Community](https://developercommunity2.visualstudio.com/t/TypeGetTypestring-bool-dont-work-in/1286940)._

[severity:I'm unable to use this version]
In . NET5 (5.0.1) the method Type.GetType(string, bool) do not find the type in a not referenced assembly (Ribbon.dll). This assembly exists in the application path.
In . NET4.5 the type will be found.
I use the method to get a type of a plugin dll.
Here is the VS project to reproduce the issue.
[WindowsFormsNet5.zip] (https://aka.ms/dc/file?name=B1f2233fe83a54a7686eaeee1253c139d637435361033212560_WindowsFormsNet5.zip&tid=1f2233fe83a54a7686eaeee1253c139d637435361033212560)
