How can I get a reference to an assembly loaded in my application? When
I try GetType().Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies(), I get an array of
AssemblyName objects (which obviously doesn't have a
GlobalAssemblyCache property). Is there any way to get to the Assembly
objects themselves?

Thanks.

Plausible Indirection

You can start with

foreach (Assembly asm in Thread.GetDomain().GetAssemblies())

and find the one you need in there.

Probably other ways exist.

Luck,
Chris

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()

or if you have an object of a type in a given assembly, you can do
obj.GetType().Assembly.
