Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies Method
Gets the AssemblyName objects for all the assemblies referenced by this assembly.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Return Value
Type: System.Reflection.AssemblyName()An array that contains the fully parsed display names of all the assemblies referenced by this assembly.

Starting with the .NET Framework version 4, the HashAlgorithm property of an AssemblyName object that is returned by this method is AssemblyHashAlgorithm.None if there is no hash algorithm for the referenced assembly, or if the hash algorithm of the referenced assembly is not identified by the System.Configuration.Assemblies.AssemblyHashAlgorithm enumeration. In previous versions of the .NET Framework, the HashAlgorithm property returned AssemblyHashAlgorithm.SHA1 in this situation. |
The following code example demonstrates calling the GetReferencedAssemblies method. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the Assembly class.
