‘Linq to Gac’ : Use Linq to Power Query your Gac via C# to Fusion

submitted by dcarr 20 days, 8 hours ago

blog.domaindotnet.com — This post gets the GAC via Linq to bend your way. How? A Fusion Wrapper to IEnumerable over your Gac. No nasty PInvokes to deal with. It's all clean C# which is here to use. We owe a debt to the Mono project for this as well as a very smart Microsoft staff member to be give credit when we can find the page again.
