        Default value is fetched from the current configuration on the machine
         
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Get-D365DotNetClass -Name "ERText*"
         
        Will search across all assembly files (*.dll) that are located in the default package directory after
        any class that fits the search "ERText*"
         
    .EXAMPLE
        PS C:\> Get-D365DotNetClass -Name "ERText*" -Assembly "*LocalizationFrameworkForAx.dll*"
