Hi all/George,
Below is the code that I would have converted my C# sample into,
however George is quite correct, it doesn't seem to be working
at all. When executed, if it all works it should return a message
box giving the full assembly name for System.dll but it doesn't.
Probably best to read the code now so you know what I am jabbering
on about:
Imports FindAsmVB
Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Windows
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Namespace FindAsmVB
Public Class EntryPoint
Public Shared Sub Main()
' Declare locals.
Dim typeToFind As String
Dim typeReference As Type
' Try and find type.
typeToFind = "System.ComponentModel.Component"
typeReference = Type.GetType(typeToFind, False, True)
If (typeReference Is Nothing) Then
MessageBox.Show( _
String.Format( _
"Could not find type: {0} in loaded
assemblies.", _
typeToFind _
) _
)
Else
MessageBox.Show( _
String.Format( _
"Found type: {0} in assembly: {1}.", _
typeReference.FullName, _
typeReference.Assembly.FullName _
) _
)
Trace.WriteLine(typeReference.Assembly.FullName)
End If
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
I thought that perhaps the System.dll assembly wasn't
getting loaded because I don't really need it, so I
inserted this diagnostic code up the top:
Trace.Indent()
Dim assm As System.Reflection.Assembly
For Each assm In AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
Trace.WriteLine(String.Format("Assembly: {0}",
assm.FullName))
Trace.Indent()
Dim modu As System.Reflection.Module
For Each modu in assm.GetModules()
Trace.WriteLine(String.Format("Module: {0}",
modu.Name))
Next
Trace.Unindent()
Next
Trace.Unindent()
The output clearly shows that the System.dll assembly
is being loaded:
Assembly: mscorlib, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Module: mscorlib.dll
Assembly: FindAsmVB, Version=1.0.900.29656, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null
Module: FindAsmVB.exe
Assembly: System, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Module: system.dll
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Module: system.windows.forms.dll
Assembly: System.Xml, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Module: system.xml.dll
In fact, you look at the debug output in VS.NET or using
cordbg.exe you can see it there anyway without my trace
code. Basically I want to understand what I am doing wrong
here, perhaps some of the CLR gurus can help me out.
I'll give this question a shot here, and if that fails I
will try posting on the DOTNET-CLR list to see how I go.
