Checking for the public key on a assembly

[Tariq]

Does any one know how to check by code the public key on an assembly that I am loading. - Tariq

This is untested code, but it follows the example shown at ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpref/html/frlrfSystemReflectionAssemblyNameClassGetPublicKeyTopic.htm.

using System.Reflection;

public byte[] GetPublicKey(string assemblyFilename)
{
AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(assemblyFilename);

return assemblyName.GetPublicKey();
// For the token you can use
// return assemblyName.GetPublicKeyToken();

}

Sorry for the bad formatting, it appears that the pre tag isn't being very pre like :) HTH, James Sonork ID: 100.11138 - Hasaki "Not be to confused with 'The VD Project'. Which would be a very bad pr0n flick. :-D" - Michael P Butler Jan. 18, 2002
