Hi,

I would like to get version of external assembly but I do not know the
path..

// now get an external assembly
AssemblyName anm =
AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName("c:\\winnt\\microsoft.net\\framework\\v1.0.3705\\my.component.dll");
// and show its version
Console.WriteLine(anm.Version.ToString());

Good to know. And what's your question?
Do you need instructions to search the c-drive recursively for the
assembly? Or is the assembly already loaded and you can go through all
loaded assemblies?

Sorry for not getting the point you are on!

The assembly should be loaded, so how would I get version of loaded
assembly?

string searchedd = "mycomponent.dll"
foreach (Assembly ass in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies())
{
if (ass.Name == searched) Console.Write(ass.GetName().Version);
}
