Caution

Use CreateFromFile(assembly.Location) instead

Creates a reference to a loaded assembly.

public static Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.MetadataReference CreateFromAssembly (System.Reflection.Assembly assembly);

[<System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsable(System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Never)>]
[<System.Obsolete("Use CreateFromFile(assembly.Location) instead", true)>]
static member CreateFromAssembly : System.Reflection.Assembly -> Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.MetadataReference

Public Shared Function CreateFromAssembly (assembly As Assembly) As MetadataReference

Parameters

assembly: Assembly

Path to the module file.

Returns

MetadataReference

Attributes: EditorBrowsableAttribute ObsoleteAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

assembly is null.

NotSupportedException

assembly is dynamic, doesn't have a location, or the platform doesn't support reading from the location.

Remarks

Performance considerations:

It is recommended to use CreateFromFile(String) API when creating multiple references to the same assembly. Reusing AssemblyMetadata object allows for sharing data across these references.

static member CreateFromAssembly : System.Reflection.Assembly * Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.MetadataReferenceProperties * Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.DocumentationProvider -> Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.MetadataReference

Path to the module file.

properties: MetadataReferenceProperties

Reference properties (extern aliases, type embedding).

documentation: DocumentationProvider

Provides XML documentation for symbol found in the reference.

Returns

MetadataReference

Attributes: EditorBrowsableAttribute ObsoleteAttribute

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

assembly is null.

ArgumentException

properties.Kind is not Assembly.

NotSupportedException

assembly is dynamic, doesn't have a location, or the platform doesn't support reading from the location.
