Methods

Find all types inheriting/implements T from all white listed loaded assemblies

Remarks

X

Skips searching in known assemblies, names starting with Microsoft, System, EntityFramework, AWS, Serilog, MSTest, nunit, Newtonsoft, Xamarin, Dapper, Autofac, Automapper, Salesforce and more...

public static IEnumerable<Type> FindAllTypesInheriting<TClassType>() where TClassType : class

X

public class Car : IVehicle {
}
var vehicles = Assemblies.FindAllTypesInheriting<IVehicle>
// returns 'Car' and all other types that inherits/implements IVehicle

X

Type	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Type>	IEnumerable of System.Type

Find all types inheriting/implements T with a attribute from all white listed loaded assemblies

Remarks

X

public class NameAttribute : Attribute { 
}

[NameAttribute]
public class Car : IVehicle {
}

var vehicles = Assemblies.FindAllTypesInheriting<IVehicle,NameAttribute>
// returns 'Car' and all other types that inherits/implements IVehicle which also contains the attribute

Read an embedded resource and return its content as string

Remarks

X

Searches only in one assembly, defaulting to 'CallingAssembly'

public static string GetEmbeddedResource(string relativeFolderPath, string fileName, Assembly assembly = null)

X

var text = Assemblies.GetEmbeddedResource("Folder/SubFolder/SubFolder2", "json.txt");
Assert.IsTrue(text.Contains("hello world"));
// assume a file in Solution Explorer exists at "~/Folder/SubFolder/SubFolder2/json.txt"
// assume "json.txt" has build action 'Embedded Resource'
// assume "json.txt" contains 'hello world' this is now true

X

Methods arguments

System.Reflection.Assembly	assembly

X

Type	Description

Read an embedded resource and return its content as byte[]

public static byte[] GetEmbeddedResourceAsBytes(string relativeFolderPath, string fileName, Assembly assembly = null)

X

var bytes = Assemblies.GetEmbeddedResource("Folder/SubFolder/SubFolder2", "image.jpg");
// bytes contains now the whole image.jpg as an byte array, assuming image.jpg was marked with the build action 'Embedded Resource'
