Something i’ve never really done before, but what is the best way to make sure that any external assemblies/dll’s that my application uses are available, and possibly the correct version.
I wrote an app that relies on the System.Data.SQLite.dll, i went to test it on a machine where that dll was missing, and my app just threw up a runtime exception because the dll was missing. How can i trap this error?
What you want to do is use reflection to check and see if the assembly can be loaded into memory. Wrap that up in a try..catch block and handle any of the specific exceptions that come from it.
