AppDomain.GetAssemblies Method

Definition

Namespace:

System

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

AppDomain.cs

Gets the assemblies that have been loaded into the execution context of this application domain.

public:
 cli::array <System::Reflection::Assembly ^> ^ GetAssemblies();

public System.Reflection.Assembly[] GetAssemblies ();

member this.GetAssemblies : unit -> System.Reflection.Assembly[]

Public Function GetAssemblies () As Assembly()

Returns

Assembly[]

An array of assemblies in this application domain.

Exceptions

AppDomainUnloadedException

The operation is attempted on an unloaded application domain.

Examples

The following code example uses the GetAssemblies method to get a list of all assemblies that have been loaded into the application domain. The assemblies are then displayed to the console.

To run this code example, you need to create an assembly named CustomLibrary.dll, or change the assembly name that is passed to the GetAssemblies method.

using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Security::Policy;

//for Evidence Object
int main()
{
   AppDomain^ currentDomain = AppDomain::CurrentDomain;
   
   //Provide the current application domain evidence for the assembly.
   Evidence^ asEvidence = currentDomain->Evidence;
   
   //Load the assembly from the application directory using a simple name.
   //Create an assembly called CustomLibrary to run this sample.
   currentDomain->Load( "CustomLibrary", asEvidence );
   
   //Make an array for the list of assemblies.
   array<Assembly^>^assems = currentDomain->GetAssemblies();
   
   //List the assemblies in the current application domain.
   Console::WriteLine( "List of assemblies loaded in current appdomain:" );
   System::Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = assems->GetEnumerator();
   while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
   {
      Assembly^ assem = safe_cast<Assembly^>(myEnum->Current);
      Console::WriteLine( assem );
   }
}
