Load and use .NET Box V2 assemblies from Powershell

Hi,

I am trying to do a simple test to see if you can load the Box.V2.Core assembly rom the .NET SDK fusing Powershell, create an object and then call a method.

What I did:

1) I nuget install-package'd all the Box .NET SDK stuff into a local folder

2) Wrote a simple powershell script to load the assembly and create an object

$BoxV2 = ".\Box.V2.2.14.0\lib\portable-net40+sl50+win+wp80\Box.V2.dll"

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom($BoxV2)



# get a Box Obj

$boxobj = New-Object -TypeName 'Box.V2.Config'

The assembly loads fine, with the following result

GAC Version Location
--- ------- --------
False v4.0.30319 C:\Users\wsstewart\Documents\box\Box.V2.2.14.0\lib\por...

but the object instansiation fails with

New-Object : Cannot find type [Box.V2.Config]: verify that the assembly
containing this type is loaded.
At C:\Users\wsstewart\Documents\box\box.ps1:11 char:11
+ $boxobj = New-Object -TypeName 'Box.V2.Config'
+           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   on
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewOb
   jectCommand

What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible to use the SDK via powershell (with the assemblies installed to a local dir via nuget install-package)?
