Inspired by this question why do we need user defined classloader in java
Does C# have a way of defining a way to load classes and dlls on demand

A class loader is an object that is responsible for loading classes. The class ClassLoader is an abstract class. Given the binary name of a class, a class loader should attempt to locate or generate data that constitutes a definition for the class.
The Java ClassLoader is a part of the Java Runtime Environment that dynamically loads Java classes into the Java Virtual Machine. The Java run time system does not need to know about files and file systems because of classloaders. Java classes aren't loaded into memory all at once, but when required by an application.
Class loaders are responsible for loading Java classes dynamically to the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) during runtime. They're also part of the JRE (Java Runtime Environment). Therefore, the JVM doesn't need to know about the underlying files or file systems in order to run Java programs thanks to class loaders.
You can handle the AppDomain.AssemblyResolve event to manually load assemblies that the runtime cannot locate by itself.
