George, It isn't really possible to find an assembly name from a namespace since the same namespace may be split across multiple assemblies. Take the "System" namespace as a classic example.
What you can do is find the assembly name from a class name, that might get you to where you want to go. using FindAsm; using System; using System.Reflection; namespace FindAsm { public class EntryPoint { public static void Main() { // Declare locals. Type seedType = null; // Grab get a type reference from the hardcoded // string then output the display name to the screen. seedType = Type.GetType("System.Convert"); Console.WriteLine(seedType.Assembly.ToString()); } } } Note that this will only work if the assembly has been loaded in by the application domain in the first place, otherwise you will need to do a bit of heavy lifting to search a given set of assemblies. ---------------------------------------- - Mitch Denny - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - +61 (414) 610-141 - -----Original Message----- From: The DOTNET list will be retired 7/1/02 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of george antony Sent: Tuesday, 18 June 2002 21:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] Urgent pls -finding the assembly name from namespace hi all can any one tell me how to find a assembly name from a namespace regards gan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
