Remarks

The CollectClassInfos method enumerates all the types available in the specified assemblies. Some types may reference other assemblies. If CLR cannot load a referenced assembly, it throws the FileNotFoundException, FileLoadException, or BadImageFormatException. The CollectClassInfos method handles all exceptions and skips the problematic assembly without adding corresponding persistent classes to the dictionary.
