This will only work if the file contains an assembly manifest. This method causes the file to be opened and closed, but the assembly is not added to this domain.
The following example gets the AssemblyName for an assembly on disk. It will not run unless you replace the string "MyAssembly.exe" with the file name of an assembly (including the path, if necessary) on your hard disk. Alternatively, you can compile this example as "MyAssembly.exe".
#using <system.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Reflection; int main() { // Replace the string "MyAssembly.exe" with the name of an assembly, // including a path if necessary. If you do not have another assembly // to use, you can use whatever name you give to this assembly. // AssemblyName^ myAssemblyName = AssemblyName::GetAssemblyName( "MyAssembly.exe" ); Console::WriteLine( "\nDisplaying assembly information:\n" ); Console::WriteLine( myAssemblyName ); }
for access to information in the path. Associated enumeration: FileIOPermissionAccess::PathDiscovery.
