        XMLTypes = XMLAssembly.GetExportedTypes();
        foreach(Type XMLType in XMLTypes) {
            object NewObject;
            try {

                if(NewObject != null)
                    Console.WriteLine(" - Creation successful");
                else

            } catch(Exception e) {

        AssemblyLoader("System.Xml", false);
        AssemblyLoader("System.Drawing", true);
    }

    public static void AssemblyLoader(string LoadedAssemblyName, bool PartialName)
    {
        try
        {
            Assembly LoadedAssembly;
            Console.WriteLine("| Loading Assembly {0}", LoadedAssemblyName);
            if(PartialName == true)
                LoadedAssembly = Assembly.LoadWithPartialName(LoadedAssemblyName);
            else
                LoadedAssembly = Assembly.Load(LoadedAssemblyName);

            Console.WriteLine("Full Name: {0}", LoadedAssembly.FullName);
            Console.WriteLine("Location: {0}", LoadedAssembly.Location);
            Console.WriteLine("Code Base: {0}", LoadedAssembly.CodeBase);
            Console.WriteLine("Escaped Code Base: {0}", LoadedAssembly.EscapedCodeBase);
            Console.WriteLine("Loaded from GAC: {0}", LoadedAssembly.GlobalAssemblyCache);
        } catch(FileNotFoundException) {
            Console.WriteLine("EXCEPTION: Cannot load assembly.");
