How bout something like this?
var mainAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var referencedAssemblies = mainAssembly.GetReferencedAssemblies();
List<Assembly> allAssemblies = new List<Assembly>();
allAssemblies.Add(mainAssembly);
foreach (AssemblyName an in referencedAssemblies) {
allAssemblies.Add(Assembly.Load(an));
}
var assemblies = allAssemblies.ToArray();
