The framework SDK has a sample called ADepends. It's in

"Tool Developers Guide\Samples\a depends"

under the SDK directory.

Bob,

Look up the System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get ReferencedAssem blies
method in the help file. It isn't documented very well, so you may
also want to search Google groups (groups.google. com) and MSDN
(msdn.microsoft .com) for more info on how it's used.

Hope this helps.

Chris.

For a gui tool, .net reflector is nice.

re:Tool or code to display referenced assemblies??

Assuming "asm" is a reference to an existing assembly, then the
referenced ones' names can be retrieved via:

System.Reflecti on.AssemblyName[] refs =
asm.GetReferenc edAssemblies();

Unfortunately, this is just the assembly names, not the actual
assembly references that you may find useful.
I'd also be interested if anyone knew a way to get to the actual
referenced assemblies.
