Is there a way to resolve the dependencies of a target project, with the help of Mono.Cecil?

[sulan-blob]

Hey there,

I have managed to embedd some code before and after a method body. Using some classes like Stopwatch to catch the time needed in the method involves that the target program where I emebedded my code, needs to resolve the dll X for example, where the Stopwatch is in. Is it possible with Mono.Cecil, to tell the target program where he have to look for the dll X, to resolve it? Because I build a Profiler and it is not given, that I have always have the whole project, sometimes it could be only a executable.

Or does anybody know how to do that? Because I have a program, which can't find/resolve the dll's I have used.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

I'm afraid there's nothing built-in to help resolving assemblies at runtime.

I supposed you could inject IL to add an event handler for the AppDomain.AssemblyResolve event to add custom resolving logic.

I would also strongly suggest looking at using the profiling API if you're making a profiler, instead of injecting code (which may or may interact badly with the JIT, which then invalidates the profiling results).
