Having a .NET assembly, how can I detect whether it was built for .NET CF or a full framework?
It s quite simple:
public enum AssemblyType
{
CompactFramework,
FullFramework,
NativeBinary
}
public AssemblyType GetAssemblyType(string pathToAssembly)
{
try
{
Assembly asm = Assembly.LoadFrom(pathToAssembly);
var mscorlib = asm.GetReferencedAssemblies().FirstOrDefault(a => string.Compare(a.Name, "mscorlib", true) == 0);
ulong token = BitConverter.ToUInt64(mscorlib.GetPublicKeyToken(), 0);
switch (token)
{
case 0xac22333d05b89d96:
return AssemblyType.CompactFramework;
case 0x89e03419565c7ab7:
return AssemblyType.FullFramework;
default:
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}
catch (BadImageFormatException)
{
return AssemblyType.NativeBinary;
}
}
I rather use CCI or Cecil to parse its metadata and check out which set of references it depends on.
The best bet would be to grab the C s include file header called winnt.h, found in your standard VS Professional (usually C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0VCinclude) and from there, load the .EXE into a PE Dumper of some sort, or use a Hex Dumper.
Combined together you can then tell if the executable is .NET and for the CF.
Look here for more details.
Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.
