external assemblies - 2/24/2006 9:28:56 AM

I recently figured out how to send a SMTP message in MSH by importing an external .NET assembly (I figured this out by reading this article: http://arstechnica.com/guides/other/msh.ars/6, which I highly recommend).

So, my script looks like this:

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Web")
$objMail = new-object Web.Mail.MailMessage
$objMail.to = "gladwellb"
$objMail.from = "gladwellb"
$objMail.subject = "Test Subject"
$objMail.body = "Test Body"
[System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail]::smtpserver = "<ip of our mail server>"
[System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail]::send($objMail)

This works fine.
When LoadWithPartialName("Sytem.Web") executes, the shell outputs:
GAC    Version        Location
---    -------        --------
True   v2.0.50727     C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC_32\System.Web\2.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\System.Web.dll
which is telling me that the assembly dll was loaded into memory.

My Question:
When, if ever, is this assembly released from memory?

Thanks - Ben
