Title Body

I need a method that takes a Type and returns the paths of all assemblies that used in the type. I wrote this: public static IEnumerable<string> GetReferencesAssembliesPaths(this Type type) { yield return type.Assembly.Location; foreach (AssemblyName assemblyName in type.Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies()) { yield return Assembly.Load(assemblyName).Location; } } Generally this method do the job, but have some disadvantages: I didn't found how to get the referenced assemblies/types from the type itself, so i used type.Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies() and got the references of the whole assembly, not just those that related to the type. type.Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies() returns AssemblyName and has no location/path/filepath property. To get the location property, i first used Assembly.Load() and then used the location property. I dont want load assemblies to get their path, because they not necessary used, and because Assembly.Load() can fail with FileNotFoundException or BadImageFormatException.
