IVsTargetFrameworkAssemblies.GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersionFromDependency Method

Gets the minimum versions of the target framework required for a given assembly to run, based on the referenced assembly closure.

Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.9.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.9.0.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration

) As Integer

int GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersionFromDependency(
    string szAssemblyFile,
    out uint pTargetFrameworkVersion
)

)

abstract GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersionFromDependency : 
        szAssemblyFile:string * 
        pTargetFrameworkVersion:uint32 byref -> int

function GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersionFromDependency(
    szAssemblyFile : String, 
    pTargetFrameworkVersion : uint
) : int

Parameters

szAssemblyFile
Type: String

[in] Path to the assembly to check.

pTargetFrameworkVersion
Type: UInt32%

[out] A WellKnownTargetFrameworkVersions value specifying the required framework version.

Return Value

Type: Int32
If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

Remarks

This method is similar to GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersion, but if the version can't be determined with confidence, it plus in case the version is not known with a confidence, it will attempt to discover the minimum target version from the referenced assembly closure (it will return the maximum known version).

COM Signature

From compsvcspkg90.idl:

HRESULT GetRequiredTargetFrameworkVersionFromDependency(
    [in] LPCOLESTR szAssemblyFile,
    [out] TARGETFRAMEWORKVERSION *pTargetFrameworkVersion
);
