Mono.Cecil.AssemblyResolutionException: Failed to resolve assembly

[Tanakorn Leesatapornwongsa]

Hi,

I got this exception, AssemblyResolutionException when I try to write assembly back. Even with this simple code, it also fails

string path1 = "assembly1.dll";
string path2 = "copy1.dll";
AssemblyDefinition assembly = AssemblyDefinition.ReadAssembly(path1);
assembly.Write(path2); // AssemblyResoultionException is thrown here

I have read the previous post about DefaultAssemblyResolver, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mono-cecil/failed$20to$20resolve|sort:date/mono-cecil/2YrccvV3dpY/xh05pT6DAwAJ

The problem is I don't have the assembly that Mono.Cecil wants to resolve so even if I give WriterParameters with DefaultAssemblyResolver, it doesn't help.

Is there any way to work around this? Or I am prohibited to write an assembly that using other assemblies that I don't have them with me?

Thank you,

Tanakorn L.

Good day,

Not a 100% - I believe you are right "prohibited to write an assembly that using other assemblies that I don't have them with me"

Tanakorn,

This may-not help; as you have already stated the problem 'The problem is I don't have the assembly that Mono.Cecil wants to resolve so even if I give WriterParameters with DefaultAssemblyResolver, it doesn't' help.'

If Mono can not resolve an assembly - it will throw an error -- so this video is not the answer; however, it might create a thinking point for your about your problem and how you might resolve it: https://www.google.com/search?q=create+an+assembly+in+vs+2017&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS844US844&oq=creat+an+asssebly+in+vs&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j33l4.10823j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

good luck;

Sam
