What should I use instead of LoadWithPartialName()?

Question

I'm loading an assembly with LoadWithPartialName(), but VS tells me that it's obsolete and to use Load() instead. However, I can't find any convenient overload.

There is a Load(string) with asks for a "full-name" which, if I understood correctly the MSDN docs, includes things like the version number.

There is also a Load (string, Evidence) which accepts a "Display name". The problem is I don't have the slightest idea what the "Display Name" is, as the "Partial Name" I was using with the first function doesn't seem to work.

So, how should it be done?

The following article explains why it's obsolete: http://blogs.msdn.com/suzcook/archive/2003/05/30/57159.aspx.

Bottom line is: use Load and give it the version number.
