# Get referenced assemblies

AssemblyRef.get_assemblyref_names(deduplicate: bool) -> List[str]

Get a list of referenced assembly names.

Parameters:

deduplicate De-duplicate names.

Return value:

A list with referenced assembly names

Example:

# Import class DotNetPE from module dotnetfile
from dotnetfile import DotNetPE

# Create an instance of DotNetPE with the file path as a parameter
dotnet_file = DotNetPE('/Users/<username>/my_dotnet_assembly.exe')

# Check if the "AssemblyRef" table exists
if dotnet_file.metadata_table_exists('AssemblyRef'):
    # Get referenced assemblies
    assemblyref_names = dotnet_file.AssemblyRef.get_assemblyref_names()

    # Print out the list of referenced assemblies
    for assemblyref_name in assemblyref_names:
        print(f'{assemblyref_name}')

# Get referenced assemblies with their versions

AssemblyRef.get_assemblyref_names_with_versions(deduplicate: bool) -> Dict[str, Union[str, List[str]]]

Get a dictionary of referenced assembly names and their versions.

Parameters:

deduplicate De-duplicate names.

Return value:

The resulting dictionaries have the following keys and values :

Assembly str Version (can be a list)

Example:

# Import class DotNetPE from module dotnetfile
from dotnetfile import DotNetPE
from typing import List

# Create an instance of DotNetPE with the file path as a parameter
dotnet_file = DotNetPE('/Users/<username>/my_dotnet_assembly.exe')

# Check if the "AssemblyRef" table exists
if dotnet_file.metadata_table_exists('AssemblyRef'):
    # Get referenced assemblies with their versions
    assembly_names_with_versions = dotnet_file.AssemblyRef.get_assemblyref_names_with_versions(deduplicate=True)
    
    # Print out assemblies with their versions
    for assembly_name, assembly_version in assembly_names_with_versions.items():
        if isinstance(assembly_version, List):
            assembly_versions = ', '.join(assembly_version)
            print(f'{assembly_name}: {assembly_versions}')
        else:
            print(f'{assembly_name}: {assembly_version}')

# Get referenced cultures

AssemblyRef.get_assemblyref_cultures() -> List[str]

Get a list of referenced culture names.

Parameters:

Return value:

A list with referenced culture names

Example:

# Import class DotNetPE from module dotnetfile
from dotnetfile import DotNetPE

# Create an instance of DotNetPE with the file path as a parameter
dotnet_file = DotNetPE('/Users/<username>/my_dotnet_assembly.exe')

# Check if the "AssemblyRef" table exists
if dotnet_file.metadata_table_exists('AssemblyRef'):
    # Get referenced cultures
    culture_names = dotnet_file.AssemblyRef.get_assemblyref_cultures()

    # Print out the list of referenced cultures
    for culture_name in culture_names:
        print(f'{culture_name}')
