how to access the control assembly at design time,

I am using the [Editor] attribute to create a custom drop down list form,
with the list of the refernced assemblies of the control.
how do I access those assembly names at design time ?

this method will return only the assemblies referenced by the assembly of
the control, while I need the ones referenced by the top most project, the
winform assembly

thanks

Hi moitmsdn,

Thanks for your post!!

Based on my understanding, you want to access the current project's
assembly at design-time.

I think VS.net design-time classes did not expose this function. We should
first use VS.net IDE automation to get the VS.net project's directory
absolute path information, then we can add a relative
"bin/debug/assemblyname" to this absolute path to get the control assembly
full path.
We may loop through the current project and get the current project's
ProjectItem object, then use ProjectItem.FullPath property to get the
directory path information.

To get more information about how to automate VS.net IDE in design-time
code, please refer to the article below:
"Reading the ASP.NET Web.config file Design Time"

Hope this helps
