Type loading question

[cris]

Hi,

When a Type contained in an assembly gets instantiated,
does the whole assembly image gets loaded in memory?

My concern is resource consumption. If the assembly image
is 100KB, and I only need to instantiate one Type in the
assembly (via Reflection), will a whole 100KB chunk of
memory get allocated?

Is there any way to optimize resource consumption in this
scenario?

Regards,
Cris
