LoadLibraryFlags

If you only want to load resources from the library, specify LoadLibraryFlags.LoadLibraryAsDatafile as dwFlags. In this case, nothing is done to execute or prepare to execute the mapped file.

private static extern IntPtr LoadLibraryEx(string lpFileName, IntPtr hFile, uint dwFlags);

    System.IntPtr moduleHandle = LoadLibraryEx(libPath, IntPtr.Zero, 0);

    public NativeLibraryHandle(string filename, LoadLibraryFlags flags) : base(IntPtr.Zero, true)

       base.SetHandle(LoadLibraryEx(filename, IntPtr.Zero, flags));
