Having a .NET assembly, how can I detect whether it was built for .NET CF or a full framework?
It's quite simple:
public enum AssemblyType
{
CompactFramework,
FullFramework,
NativeBinary
}
public AssemblyType GetAssemblyType(string pathToAssembly)
{
try
{
Assembly asm = Assembly.LoadFrom(pathToAssembly);
var mscorlib = asm.GetReferencedAssemblies().FirstOrDefault(a => string.Compare(a.Name, "mscorlib", true) == 0);
ulong token = BitConverter.ToUInt64(mscorlib.GetPublicKeyToken(), 0);
switch (token)
{
case 0xac22333d05b89d96:
return AssemblyType.CompactFramework;
case 0x89e03419565c7ab7:
return AssemblyType.FullFramework;
default:
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}
catch (BadImageFormatException)
{
return AssemblyType.NativeBinary;
}
}
