You can, by means of the Assembly class's GetReferencedAssemblies method.
For example:

Assembly MyAssembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("c:\\MyAssembly.dll");
AssemblyName[] AsmNames = Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies();

You can also get a reference to the currently executing assembly like this:

Assembly CurrentAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();

thanks it workes, but how can I dismiss System.Forms like dependincies ?
I just want to external referenced dll's that users prepared and their
version

But all System.* referances are also in this list.

thanks..
