I want to get my hands on an assembly by saving it to disc or reflect it at runtime. The assembly is generated dynamically in memory by third party.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Try this (found here): 

byte[] dllAsArray;

using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
    BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();

    formatter.Serialize(stream, results.CompiledAssembly);

    dllAsArray = stream.ToArray();
}
