If I do an Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom()
, is it possible to unload the assembly?
Or, can it be unloaded only if it is in a separate AppDomain, as with Assembly.LoadFrom()
?
I have a tool that needs to load an assembly for inspection.

Yes, you need to load it into a separate AppDomain, then unload the entire AppDomain.
You can create an instance in the new AppDomain and execute your code in that instance. Please see full example here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37970043/797249
