Loading referenced types

[Mantorok]

Hi

I have a project that references one of our components, is there a way in
..Net to get a list of references that the application is depending on?

The reason for this is so I can load certain dlls on app startup.

Thanks
Kev

You can find the assemblies that a given assembly references using
reflection, sort of like this:

System.Reflection.Assembly a =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
foreach(System.Reflection.Assembly referenced in
a.GetReferencedAssemblies())
{
Console.WriteLine(referenced.GetName());
}

Erm, that seemed to work at first but I noticed some references weren't
being returned from GetReferencedAssemblies(), do you know why this might
be?

Thanks

What assemblies are not loading? Are you sure that they're not all
loading? Maybe you're getting the references from the wrong assembly,
instead of getting it from GetExecutingASsembly() maybe try
GenEntryAssembly(). You can also load an assembly by path or from an
app domain. Check out this link from msdn2

Let us know how it works out, if you have some quirks to resolve your
issue.

Well, to be on the safe side I'm checking every non-GAC assembly in
AppDomain and loading all references from each one.

I've got a winforms project that references:

Ccc.Framework
Ccc.Proposable
System
System.configuration
System.Data
System.Design
System.Drawing
System.Windows.Forms
System.Xml

Yet GetReferencedAssemblies() only returns Ccc.Framework and System.....?!
