Class AssemblyExtension

Extension methods to simplify working with assemblies

Inheritance

System.Object

AssemblyExtension

Namespace: EPiServer.Framework.Initialization

Assembly: EPiServer.Framework.dll

Version: 12.0.3

Syntax

public static class AssemblyExtension : Object

Methods

IsDynamicAssembly(Assembly)

Determines whether the specified assembly is a dynamically generated assembly.

Declaration

public static bool IsDynamicAssembly(this Assembly assembly)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Reflection.Assembly	assembly	The assembly to check.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	`true` if it is a dynamic assembly; otherwise, `false`.

Remarks

This extension method checks more than just the IsDynamic property, which does not cover all relevant cases of dynamic assemblies.

IsEPiServerSignedAssembly(Assembly)

Determines whether the specified assembly is signed by EPiServer. This method is used to determine if an assembly is a part of EPiServer products family.

Declaration

public static bool IsEPiServerSignedAssembly(this Assembly assembly)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Reflection.Assembly	assembly	The assembly.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	`true` if the specified assembly is signed by EPiServer; otherwise, `false`.

IsNetFrameworkAssembly(Assembly)

Determines whether the specified assembly is a .NET Framework assembly.

Declaration

public static bool IsNetFrameworkAssembly(this Assembly assembly)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Reflection.Assembly	assembly	The assembly to check.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	`true` if it is a .NET Framework assembly; otherwise, `false`.

IsSameAssemblyName(AssemblyName, AssemblyName)

Compares assembly names based on name and public key token. Returns true if name and public key token of this assembly are equal.

Declaration

public static bool IsSameAssemblyName(this AssemblyName assemblyName, AssemblyName assemblyName2)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Reflection.AssemblyName	assemblyName	The assembly name.
System.Reflection.AssemblyName	assemblyName2	The assembly name for comparison.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean

IsScanAllowed(Assembly)

Determines whether the specified assembly is allowed for type/attribute scanning.

Declaration

public static bool IsScanAllowed(this Assembly assembly)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Reflection.Assembly	assembly	The assembly to check.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	`true` if scan is allowed; otherwise, `false`.

Remarks

Any dynamic or .NET Framework assembly will be excluded, as well as any assembly that contains the [PreventAssemblyScan] attribute.

NormalizedName(Assembly)

Normalizes the assembly name.

Declaration

public static string NormalizedName(this Assembly assembly)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Reflection.Assembly	assembly	The assembly.

Returns

Type	Description
System.String	A normalized version of the assembly display name.
