function Copy-DbaDatabaseAssembly {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Copy-DbaDatabaseAssembly migrates assemblies from one SQL Server to another.
 
        .DESCRIPTION
            By default, all assemblies are copied.
 
            If the assembly already exists on the destination, it will be skipped unless -Force is used.
 
            This script does not yet copy dependencies or dependent objects.
 
        .PARAMETER Source
            Source SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and server version must be SQL Server version 2000 or higher.
 
        .PARAMETER SourceSqlCredential
            Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use:
 
            $scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SourceSqlCredential parameter.
 
            Windows Authentication will be used if SourceSqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials.
 
            To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
        .PARAMETER Destination
            Destination SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and the server must be SQL Server 2000 or higher.
 
        .PARAMETER DestinationSqlCredential
            Allows you to login to servers using SQL Logins instead of Windows Authentication (AKA Integrated or Trusted). To use:
 
            $dcred = Get-Credential, then pass this $dcred to the -DestinationSqlCredential parameter.
 
            Windows Authentication will be used if DestinationSqlCredential is not specified. SQL Server does not accept Windows credentials being passed as credentials.
 
            To connect as a different Windows user, run PowerShell as that user.
 
        .PARAMETER Assembly
            The assembly(ies) to process. This list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all assemblies will be processed.
 
        .PARAMETER ExcludeAssembly
            The assembly(ies) to exclude. This list is auto-populated from the server.
 
        .PARAMETER WhatIf
            If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run.
 
        .PARAMETER Confirm
            If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state.
 
        .PARAMETER EnableException
            By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
            This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
            Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
 
        .PARAMETER Force
            If this switch is enabled, existing assemblies on Destination with matching names from Source will be dropped.

        .EXAMPLE
            Copy-DbaDatabaseAssembly -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster
 
            Copies all assemblies from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster using Windows credentials. If assemblies with the same name exist on sqlcluster, they will be skipped.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Copy-DbaDatabaseAssembly -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -Assembly dbname.assemblyname, dbname3.anotherassembly -SourceSqlCredential $cred -Force
 
            Copies two assemblies, the dbname.assemblyname and dbname3.anotherassembly from sqlserver2014a to sqlcluster using SQL credentials for sqlserver2014a and Windows credentials for sqlcluster. If an assembly with the same name exists on sqlcluster, it will be dropped and recreated because -Force was used.
 
            In this example, anotherassembly will be copied to the dbname3 database on the server sqlcluster.
 
        .EXAMPLE
            Copy-DbaThing -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -WhatIf -Force
 
            Shows what would happen if the command were executed using force.
