buildmanager

I'm trying to iterate through the referenced assemblies in my console app. I have been doing this with BuildManager.GetReferencedAssemblies in other projects, but in my console application, I get an InvalidOperationException: This method cannot be called during the application's pre-start initialization stage. To my knowledge, there isn't a way to delay execution in a console app. You do it in static void Main, or you don't do it at all... Anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this? Cerebrate BuildManager.GetReferencedAssemblies() from the System.Web.Compilation namespace? So far as

Just wanted to know if there is any difference between the two, in the context of a fully trust asp.net mvc 2 application. The .NET Framework defers loading assemblies into the current AppDomain until they're needed. For example, if you call into a third-party library only from SomeMethod(), the third-party DLL normally won't be loaded until the first time SomeMethod() runs. AppDomain.GetAssemblies() gives you all assemblies which have already been loaded into the current AppDomain. BuildManager.GetReferencedAssemblies() returns a list of all assemblies referenced from Web.config and elsewhere
