IVsTargetFrameworkAssemblies::GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersionFromDependency Method (String^, UInt32)

 

Gets the minimum versions of the target framework required for a given assembly to run, based on the referenced assembly closure.

Namespace:   Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.9.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.9.0.dll)

int GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersionFromDependency(
	String^ szAssemblyFile,
	[OutAttribute] unsigned int% pTargetFrameworkVersion
)

Parameters

szAssemblyFile
Type: System::String^

[in] Path to the assembly to check.

pTargetFrameworkVersion
Type: System::UInt32

[out] A WellKnownTargetFrameworkVersions value specifying the required framework version.

Return Value

Type: System::Int32

If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

This method is similar to GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersion, but if the version can't be determined with confidence, it plus in case the version is not known with a confidence, it will attempt to discover the minimum target version from the referenced assembly closure (it will return the maximum known version).

From compsvcspkg90.idl:

HRESULT GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersionFromDependency(
    [in] LPCOLESTR szAssemblyFile,
    [out] TARGETFRAMEWORKVERSION *pTargetFrameworkVersion
