Can You Clone The CallingAssembly Object In .NET?-CodePudding

I'm trying to capture the Calling Assembly in an object and then pass it to a method that will then use it.

Here is what I'm trying to do:

'This code is called from another assembly
Dim objCallingAssembly As Object = Assembly.GetCallingAssembly()

'The executing assembly now passes the clone to a method in its assembly
PopulateCallingAssembly (objCallingAssembly)

Private Sub PopulateCallingAssembly(objCallingAssembly As Object)

    Dim strCallingAssemblyFileName = GetAssemblyFileName(objCallingAssembly.GetCallingAssembly().Location)
    Dim strCallingAssemblyName = objCallingAssembly.GetCallingAssembly().GetName().Name
    Dim strCAllingAssemblyVersion = objCallingAssembly.GetCallingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString

End Sub

How can I make a clone (or copy) of the Calling Assembly object that will contain static values and not change?

CodePudding user response：

Way to much complexity going on here. You just need

'This code is called from another assembly
Dim objCallingAssembly As Assembly = Assembly.GetCallingAssembly()

'The executing assembly now passes the clone to a method in its assembly
PopulateCallingAssembly (objCallingAssembly)

Private Sub PopulateCallingAssembly(objCallingAssembly As Assembly)

    Dim strCallingAssemblyFileName = objCallingAssembly.Location)
    Dim strCallingAssemblyName = objCallingAssembly.GetName().Name
    Dim strCAllingAssemblyVersion = objCallingAssembly.GetName().Version.ToString()

End Sub
