Hello buddies,
today i want to show you a code snippet where you can get all class names of an internal or external library or an assembly. You have to add the library as an Reference.
I am developing in the company a framework, where i need the names of classes of an external library which i added as reference.
We need a using, called System.Reflection.Assembly.
The code to get classes of an assembly:
static void Main(string[] args) { ListOfClasses("Company.LibraryNameOrAssemblyName"); //call the method with a library. which you add as reference. Console.Read(); } public static string[] ListOfClasses(string name) { Assembly assembly = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad(name); //create an new object of Assembly type. string[] classes = new string[assembly.GetTypes().Length]; //get count of types int counter = 0; //counter for array index, loop through available types foreach (var classtype in assembly.GetTypes()) { classes[counter] = classtype.FullName; //add Name of class to array. counter++; //increase index counter } return classes; // return result as array } |
If you execute the code you will get back an array filled with classnames from the library.
Hope, someone will find it helpfull.
