[ADVANCED-DOTNET] Extracting Metadata using Reflection - Unable to resolve references

[Girish Jain]

Hi All,
My basic purpose is to create some sort of documentation for a very big
assembly which has a lot of classes and a lot of methods within it.
I am having an issue relating to extracting Parameter Type info. I have as
assembly and this assembly references several other custom assemblies. These
custom assemblies are created by me and are within the same directory
I load the assesmbly and extract all the exported types and then methods.
When I try to extract the parameters info on the MethodInfo object by
calling GetParameters method I get "FileNotFoundException" for one of the
referenced assemby.
Also, I want to extract only methods which are -
-- Public/Non-Public methods declared withing the class and do not want
Property and Event methods (i.e. get_XX, set_XXX, add_XXx, and remove_XX)
which I am unable to achieve
Any sort of help, highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Girish Jain
Here's is the code:-
       p_Asmbly = [Assembly].LoadFile(txtAssemblyPath.Text)
       Dim p_Type As Type
       Dim p_Types() As Type
       p_Types = p_Asmbly.GetExportedTypes()
       Dim p_Method As MethodInfo
       Dim p_Methods() As MethodInfo
       Dim p_Param As ParameterInfo
       Dim p_Params() As ParameterInfo
       Dim strParams As String = String.Empty

           For Each p_Type In p_Types
               p_Methods = p_Type.GetMethods()
               p_Type.GetMethods(BindingFlags.Public And
BindingFlags.Instance And BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly)
               rtbOutput.Text += "Type Name : " & p_Type.Name & vbCrLf
               rtbOutput.Text +=
"--------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf
               objCSVWriter.WriteLine("Type Name : " & p_Type.Name)
               For Each p_Method In p_Methods
                   If Not (p_Method.Name.Substring(0, 4) = "get_" Or
p_Method.Name.Substring(0, 4) = "set_") Then
                       ' Get the paremeter details for the method
                       p_Params = p_Method.GetParameters
'******************Exception!!!!!
                       For Each p_Param In p_Params
                           strParams += p_Param.Name & " As " &
p_Param.ParameterType.ToString & ", "
                       Next
                       p_Params = Nothing
                       If strParams.Length > 0 Then strParams =
strParams.Substring(0, strParams.Length - 2)
                       rtbOutput.Text += p_Method.Name & "(" & strParams &
")" & vbCrLf
                       objCSVWriter.WriteLine(p_Method.Name)
                       strParams = String.Empty
                   End If
               Next
               rtbOutput.Text +=
"--------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
               objCSVWriter.WriteLine()
               objCSVWriter.WriteLine()
           Next
       objCSVWriter.Close()
