Using System.Reflection To Determine ALL References?
Mar 4, 2010
I am trying to determine every single reference inside a dll with System.Reflection. However, GetReferencedAssemblies only lists the ones in the "References" (visible in solution explorer).
I would like to determine references from within the code itself, such as an imports statement. Even things like if/then statements, try/catch, absolutely everything.
Is this possible to do using System.Reflection? If so, how?
I would definitely prefer to do this without p/invoke.
I would use the System.Linq.Dynamic. I added the specified Dynamic.vb file, that starts like this:
[Code]...
to my (VB.NET)solution. Now Visual Studio does not recognize anymore in the project files the System.XXX references, proposing me to change them to Global.System.XXX
I am working on a card game, and i get this werid error:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Reflection.TargetParameterCountException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
The code that is cousing this error is:
Private Delegate Sub ShowcardDelegate(ByVal test As String, ByVal objtest As Object, ByVal value As Boolean) Private Sub Showcard(ByVal test As String, ByVal objtest As Object, ByVal value As Boolean) If objtest.InvokeRequired Then
I have had several occasions recently to access a specific class several times over a relatively small time frame.So I've been storing the value of the class in Session and trying to access it on page load, if it's not available creating a new instance and storing that in session.
So instead of constantly replicating the same code for different classes on different pages I'm trying to create an extension method to do this for me.
[Code]...
I'm stuck on what to do when I make my new instance of my class (it would have to have a New() sub)
I'm not sure where to go from here... or even if this is the best way to do it.
I was trying to finish up a VB.NET class library project when I tried to remove all unused references. I know for a fact that I'm not explicitly using any thing from the System.Xml and System.Xml.Linq assemblies yet the "Unused References..." button never flags them for removal.In fact I even tried "Unused References..." on a blank project and it still never flagged them.
I'm looping all the properties in an object via reflection:
For Each p As PropertyInfo In values.[GetType]().GetProperties() If p.CanRead Then 'Do stuff End If Next
how to determine whether the property in question is a generic List(Of T)? If it is I need to loop the list itself.
I've experimented with GetType and TypeOf but have not managed to get anything working.
To clarify, I want to keep this generic. I do not want to specify the type of T, I need to loop the list items and call the ToString method on each item. T could be one of a number of different types (application specific reference types). Is it possible to do this without specifying types?
Im using system.reflection to inject a managed (.net) file directly into memory.This injection works with other managed files, but this file has data in the EOF and it wont run without that data.
I am trying to create an application that will play a movie file, then when it has played the movie, give the user 30 seconds then shut the system down. i have so far made it so that it does everything i need expect when the code for the additional 30 seconds is up i get the following error:
Quote:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
When i had a message box being made at the same point it worked fine but when i added the shutdown code in it doesnt work so i am confident it is not with the if statements but more the "Process.Start("shutdown /s /t 30")" line.
Private Sub timShutdown_Elapsed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) Handles timShutdown.Elapsed If ShutdownTimer = 1 And ShutdownExtraTime = False Then 'Movie Has Played ShutdownExtraTime = True
I am making a program that is sort of a frontend to all my other apps. I put the EXEs of those apps into the resources of my frontend. The problem occurs when I try to run the EXEs from memory.
I keep getting System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException on the line: entryPoint.Invoke(RuntimeHelpers.GetObjectValue(objectValue), New Object() {New String() {"1"}})
I was in away to develop a system to check any problems installed in a smart card. Such as checking wheter applet fully configure,checking serial no and etc.
I am trying to create an Excel file using reflection. The reason, the application will be running on many machines some of which may or not have excel installed. I decided to embed the "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll" and via reflection generated the excel spreadsheet. The code I am trying to resemble is:
I am loading an assembly dynamically and invoking a static method from it. The problem arises when the method uses a reference which is not trivial (e.g. mscorlib or System.Core) - I get System.MissingMethodException. I have tried going through the references assemblies of the loaded assembly and manually loading them all, thus forcing them to be loaded onto the AppDomain. I have checked CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies, the assemblies are loaded.
so I want to go start using System.Reflection to load my dlls from a special folder as I never did this before and thought I should give it a try. now I'm wondering how to do this. below I have my dll code and my form code I need to know how to use the sub from my dll in my form if I use Assembly.LoadFrom
I get this error when I try to read data over the serial port using a program that I have written in VB.NET n unhandled exception of type System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in mscorlib.dllAdditional information: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.he code which I think causes this error is as follows :
I cannot get the following to work for me: its the section that sets the default for system.data.linq.binary. The database I work with doesn't allow nulls in any field. So I generally run my buffer through this routine to populate defaults and then set the real values independently, (this works when I miss a field). I can set the Linq table field = fakeBinary and it works like a charm. Thus, I don't understand why using reflection can't pull of the same thing. Ex: Me.CM20500WindowBuffer.Reconcile_Messages = New Byte() {0} works.
Try Dim fakeBinary As System.Byte() = {0} For Each fld In nObj.GetType().GetProperties Select Case fld.PropertyType Case GetType(Byte) [Code] .....
I'm passing a type name and some parameters from C# code into a navigation framework written in VB. The navigation framework looks for a constructor on the type that matches the parameters passed in using Type.GetConstructor(Types()). The constructor that I'm looking for expects an array of integers Integer() in vb. But it gets an array of System.Int32. I've gone so far as to try this:
[Code]...
And the VB code still sees System.Int32 on the other end, which means that it doesn't find the constructor.
I have tried several versions of this with no luck. The casting of the worksheet works as my data is entered in other parts, but I have a section where I need to add data 1 column right of the cell containing the 'str(0)' value. Most of these parameters are optional. I have even tried the System.Reflection.Missing object.
Our company has an app that load their components by System.Reflection.Load (By the way, an awesome technique )But, we start to monitorate the application and detect a extrange grow up of memory (actually when our application still all day on air, their allocate memory on task manager is 200 MB plus memory) And all of our components (60 plus DLLs) is load by this technique.My doubt is how to deallocate this assemblies or how the best way to deallocate any assemblies loaded by the System.Reflection.Assemblie.Load method?
I have Crystal Reports 2008 installed on my win7 laptop but when i go to insert references from my application settings the CrystalDecisions references are missing and im not able to find them. Note: they do exist in my "c:windowsassembly" folder.
I'm trying to get an application to determine which operating system the user is currently running and use that to decide what to do. For example, a user uses the program and they're using Windows 7. I want it to know that and use predetermined variables throughout the program for Windows 7. Likewise if they're using Vista or XP/Macintosh.
i'm going to do a calendar using vb.net. and the first step i'm doing is making a button and a message box showing system's date
my code is as below but it's not working. i thought date is one of the vb function to get system date?Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Is there a way to determine if a System.Net.Sockets.Socket has sent data that has not been received/read by a specified remote endpoint with a connectionless protocol?It never hurts to try.
I wanna know how to make a Idle event that sets a timer to determine if my system idles for a minute and pop outs a form and stop the timer if that form loads?
I code primarily in vb.net. I've been doing basic dependency injection manually and am looking to learn more about DI/IoC and maybe use a DI/IoC framework/container like Ninject. There are lots of examples and write-ups using Java and C# code. I'm looking for the best resources for vb.net programmers. Likewise, is there a particular framework that would be easiest for a vb.net programmer to pick up?
