Dears,

I am trying to get all classes in a solution that has two projects with no reference between them but i am only getting classes to the current startup project.

Here is my case:

* I have a 2 projects in one solution (ConsoleApplication2 - ConsoleApplication11).
* ConsoleApplication2 is the startup project.
* I tried using

C#

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()

but i am only getting ConsoleApplication2 [startup project] classes.

So, How can i get ConsoleApplication11 classes without adding reference to it in ConsoleApplication2.

Waiting your fast actions,

Regards,
Amr

Solution 1

You have to load the assembly you are trying to use reflection on:

C#

string path = @"..\..\ConsoleApplication11\bin\Debug\ConsoleApplication11.exe"; // Put the right path to the assembly you are trying to load here
Assembly consoleApp11 = Assembly.LoadFile(path);

Assembly Class[^]
Assembly.LoadFile Method (String)[^]
