Examples

The following example shows how to display the list of libraries used to compile the current application. Include <PreserveCompilationContext>true</PreserveCompilationContext> in your project file to run this example.

foreach (CompilationLibrary lib in DependencyContext.Default.CompileLibraries)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Library: {lib.Name} {lib.Version}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Type:    {lib.Type}");
    Console.WriteLine("Reference paths:");

    foreach (string path in lib.ResolveReferencePaths())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(path);
    }
}

Remarks

A compile time library dependency is a library used to compile an application. It can be a reference assembly or an implementation assembly. You can use the CompileLibraries property to get the list of compile time library dependencies for a dependency context. This is useful when you need to dynamically compile code (for example, using Roslyn Emit API) referencing the same dependencies as your main application.
