[Mono-dev] A possible implementation for AssemblyName.ReferenceMatchesDefinition

[mlgo]

Right. Thanks. I hadn't thought about that. I keep suspecting that the documentation is not right though. That in fact what needs to be done is determine if the names actually refer to the same dll. Hopefully someone can reply to this who knows more about the internals of this. Otherwise I need to find some more real world uses of it in dotnet source code so I can better understand if this is the right way to go.

You may want to ignore culture and case in your comparison:

return reference.Name.Equals(definition.Name, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)

According to

The following is what is expected to be returned from
ReferenceMatchesDefinition.

Returns a value indicating whether two assembly names are the same. The
comparison is based on the simple assembly names.

This seems naïve but below is a tentative implementation of that. Any ideas?

public static bool ReferenceMatchesDefinition (AssemblyName reference,
AssemblyName definition)
                {
                        if (reference == null)
                                throw new ArgumentNullException ("reference");
                        if (definition == null)
                                throw new ArgumentNullException ("definition");
                        if (reference.Name != definition.Name)
                                return false;

                        return reference.Name.Equals(definition.Name);
                }
