access referenced projects at runtime

Question

I have a rather strange project where I need to check the assemblies of the projects included as references in my project to see if they contain a certain Type. As far as I can tell the only way to see which projects are in my solution is to parse the solution file - which I can't do at runtime since I don't have it.

Does anyone know a way to see, at runtime, which assemblies are in the project file?

Answer 1

To check the referenced assemblies in your project assembly at runtime, you need to use Reflection. this.GetType().Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies()
