PRISM - How to get DLL's name and version information?

0
votes

Is it possible to get DLL's names and version information from a appmanifest.xml which resides in a VS2010 project corresponding to a PRISM Module ?

My Silverlight 4 application loads on demand all modules listed in the modules catalog. I guess this means that it has downloaded all the modules corresponding XAP files, appmanifest.xml files – to load the necessary resources (DLL’s, etc)

So, at this point, how can I access DLL's names and if possible DLL's version number of every module from within my "main" Silverlight project ??

Thanks for your feedback!

You can do this in the ModuleInit.cs of each PRISM module. Somewhat like:

public class ModuleInit : IModule
{
    private readonly IUnityContainer _container;
    private readonly IRegionManager _regionManager;

    public ModuleInit(IUnityContainer container, IRegionManager regionManager)
    {
        _container = container;
        _regionManager = regionManager;

        // Add this assembly details to a global collection
        Global.ClientAssemblies.Add(GeneralHelper.GetAssemblyInfo(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()));
    }...

Helper function:

public static string GetAssemblyInfo(Assembly assembly)
        {
            return assembly.ToString();
        }
