ReflectionDataSet.FindAssembly Method

Definition

Namespace

Sandcastle.Core.Reflection

Assembly

Sandcastle.Core.dll

This is used to find an assembly by name

public AssemblyDetails FindAssembly(string assemblyName)

Parameters

assemblyName string

The assembly name without a path or extension or a strong name value. If a strong name value is specified, a "starts with" comparison on the description is used to see if the assembly is present in the framework. This allows for matches on strong names with processor architecture specified which we don't have. If only a name is given, just the name is compared. Comparisons are case-insensitive.

Returns

AssemblyDetails

The assembly if found or null if not found
