How to programmatically check C++ DLL files and C# DLL files for references to debug DLLS to automate a testing procedure

Question

I have run into this issue too many times and need this to be an automated approach:

I have multiple DLL files that are constantly being built/changed that multiple

If you know the names of all the DLLs (because, for example, you ran Dependency Walker) you can just use LoadLibrary to check for unmanaged DLLs.

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr LoadLibrary(string dllToLoad);

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr LoadLibraryEx(string lpFileName, IntPtr hFile, uint dwFlags);
const UInt32 DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES = 0x00000001;
const UInt32 LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE = 0x00000002;
const UInt32 LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH = 0x00000008;

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern bool FreeLibrary(IntPtr hModule);

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern UInt32 GetLastError();

void CheckUnmanagedDll(string DllName)
{
    IntPtr hModule = LoadLibrary(DllName);
    if (hModule.Equals(IntPtr.Zero))
        MessageBox.Show("Can't find " + DllName);
     FreeLibrary(hModule);
 }
