AssemblyBuilder.GetReferencedAssemblies Method

Definition

Gets an incomplete list of AssemblyName objects for the assemblies that are referenced by this AssemblyBuilder.

public override System.Reflection.AssemblyName[] GetReferencedAssemblies ();

Returns

An array of assembly names for the referenced assemblies. This array is not a complete list.

Remarks

This method does not return a complete list of referenced assemblies. For example, if you apply a custom attribute to the AssemblyBuilder, the assembly in which the attribute was defined is included in the list returned by this method. However, if you use a Type object to specify the type of a method parameter, that type is not included.

To get a complete list of referenced assemblies, save the assembly, load it into another application domain, and call the Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies method.
