Question

I would like to determine whether or not a file has any dependencies to the .net framework. The catch: I want to do this without the use of any third party application.

I was hoping there was some hidden method in existence that I could use for this.

Thanks for any help,
Evan

Something along these lines:

Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom(
      pathToAssembly);
   AssemblyName [] an = 
      a.GetReferencedAssemblies();
   foreach (AssemblyName name in an) 
      Console.WriteLine(name.ToString());
