Class DependentAssemblyInfo

An instance of this class is created for each assembly listed as a dependent, and is used to track the assemblies that must be loaded to query their properties.

Namespace: WizardWrx.AssemblyUtils

Assembly: WizardWrx.AssemblyUtils.dll

Syntax

public class DependentAssemblyInfo : IComparable<DependentAssemblyInfo>

Constructors

DependentAssemblyInfo(AssemblyName)

The public constructor requires an AssemblyName from which to create an initialized instance.

Declaration

public DependentAssemblyInfo(AssemblyName panmAssemblyName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Reflection.AssemblyName	panmAssemblyName	AssemblyName fully describes an assembly, including properties that give direct access to the base (simple) name, version, culture, and public key token.

Fields

IS_LOADED

The IsLoaded property has this value when the assembly is loaded when the DependentAssemblies query loop runs.

Declaration

public const bool IS_LOADED = true

Field Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

NOT_LOADED

The IsLoaded property has this value when the assembly is unloaded when the DependentAssemblies query loop runs.

Declaration

public const bool NOT_LOADED = false

Field Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Properties

AssemblyDetails

Get the Assembly, itself. If it was already loaded for use, this is a reference to the live assembly. Otherwise, it is a copy that was loaded for reflection, and will be unloaded by the destructor.

Declaration

public Assembly AssemblyDetails { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Reflection.Assembly

FullName

Get the FullName of the assembly.

Declaration

public string FullName { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String

IsLoaded

Get the load state of the assembly.

Declaration

public bool IsLoaded { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Methods

DestroyOwneAppdDomains()

You must call this method once, when you are finished using the object, but before it goes out of scope, to unload the private AppDomain, along with the assemblies that were loaded into it.

Declaration

public void DestroyOwneAppdDomains()

Remarks

This activity cannot be performed by a destructor, because the unload fails with HRESULT 0x80131015 when the unload is initiated by a destructor, or when a destructor is active.

Equals(Object)

Test a pair of object instances for logical equality.

Declaration

public override bool Equals(object obj)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Object	obj	Supply a reference to the other object to test for equality with the calling instance.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	This method returns TRUE if the two objects are of the same or equivalent types and their FullName properties are equal. Otherwise, the return value is FALSE.

Overrides

System.Object.Equals(System.Object)

GetHashCode()

Return the HashCode property of the FullName property of the instance.

Declaration

public override int GetHashCode()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Int32

Overrides

System.Object.GetHashCode()

LoadForInspection()

The name of this method reflects its motivation, which was to report on the assemblies upon which a specified "root" assembly depends.

Declaration

public void LoadForInspection()

MarkAsLoaded(Assembly)

Call this method to mark an assembly as loaded.

Declaration

public void MarkAsLoaded(Assembly pasmThis)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Reflection.Assembly	pasmThis

ToString()

Return a string representation of the instance.

Declaration

public override string ToString()

Returns

Type	Description
System.String	The returned string consists of the object type, as it would be reported by the base ToString method, followed by the FullName and IsLoaded property values.

Overrides

System.Object.ToString()

Explicit Interface Implementations

IComparable<DependentAssemblyInfo>.CompareTo(DependentAssemblyInfo)

Declaration

int IComparable<DependentAssemblyInfo>.CompareTo(DependentAssemblyInfo other)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
DependentAssemblyInfo	other

Returns

Type	Description
System.Int32

Implements

System.IComparable<T>
