Also, in PowerShell 2.0 the Add-Type cmdlet has an -Assembly parameter set which is an implementation of Lee Holmes’ suggestion for resolving assemblies with a map instead of using LoadWithPartialName, so you could try falling back to that before using the deprecated LoadWithPartialName.

I've meant to update this post for a while... PowerShell 2 added a number of reserved, but unimplemented, keywords, including using. You will need to name the function something different, perhaps Use-Object with an alias of use?

I am attempting to use your “Using” function with Powershell v2.0 and continually get an error with the following message:
“The ‘using’ keyword is not supported in this version of the language.”

I have put the “Using” function in my local profile; any ideas?
