Assembly::GetReferencedAssemblies Method ()

 

Gets the AssemblyName objects for all the assemblies referenced by this assembly.

Namespace:   System.Reflection
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
virtual array<AssemblyName^>^ GetReferencedAssemblies()

Return Value

Type: array<System.Reflection::AssemblyName^>^

An array that contains the fully parsed display names of all the assemblies referenced by this assembly.

System_CAPS_importantImportant

Starting with the .NET Framework 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.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;

static void Display(Int32 indent, String^ format, ... array<Object^>^param) 
{
    Console::Write("{0}", gcnew String (' ', indent));
    Console::WriteLine(format, param);
}

// Displays the custom attributes applied to the specified member.
static void DisplayAttributes(Int32 indent, MemberInfo^ mi)
{
    // Get the set of custom attributes; if none exist, just return.
    array<Object^>^attrs = mi->GetCustomAttributes(false);

    if (attrs->Length==0)
    {
        return;          
    }

    // Display the custom attributes applied to this member.
    Display(indent+1, "Attributes:");
    for each ( Object^ o in attrs )
    {
        Display(indent*2, "{0}", o);
    }				
}

void main()
{
    try
    {
        // This variable holds the amount of indenting that 
        // should be used when displaying each line of information.
        Int32 indent = 0; 
        // Display information about the EXE assembly.
        Assembly^ a = System::Reflection::Assembly::GetExecutingAssembly();

        Display(indent, "Assembly identity={0}", gcnew array<Object^> {a->FullName});
        Display(indent+1, "Codebase={0}", gcnew array<Object^> {a->CodeBase});

        // Display the set of assemblies our assemblies reference.

        Display(indent, "Referenced assemblies:"); 

        for each ( AssemblyName^ an in a->GetReferencedAssemblies() )
        {
            Display(indent + 1, "Name={0}, Version={1}, Culture={2}, PublicKey token={3}", gcnew array<Object^> {an->Name, an->Version, an->CultureInfo, (BitConverter::ToString(an->GetPublicKeyToken()))});
        }
