Get list of types from assembly in IronPython

Saqib Ullah — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 22:25:02 GMT

This is my first coding blog for IronPython in which I convert my old blog List of all Form from an Assembly in IronPython code. I use Visual Studio 2005 IronPython Console template so you need to add the following lines of code explicitly when use are writing code on command prompt to add reference of System.dll

import clr

clr.AddReference("System")

Here are the few bytes that IronPython developers use when they want to get a list of types from particular assembly.

from System import *
from System.Reflection import *

def GetTypeList(assemblyName, assemblyVersion):

_assemblyname = AssemblyName()

_assemblyname.Name = assemblyName

v = Version(assemblyVersion)

_assemblyname.Version = v;

assembly = Assembly.Load(_assemblyname)

Console.WriteLine("Listing all types in {0}", assembly.FullName)

Console.WriteLine()

types = assembly.GetTypes()

for type in types:
Console.WriteLine(type)

GetTypeList('IronMath.dll','1.1.0.0')
Console.ReadLine();

In the preceding codes I test the IronMath.dll itself with it version ‘1.1.0.0’. For C# version of this code read this blog.

Visual Studio 2005 SDK 2007.02 Error with IronPython Project

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

The above error has been occurred when I try to open an IronPython project in Visual Studio 2005 at following file location position C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005 SDK\2007.02\VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Source\CSharp\Project\Automation\OAProject.cs at line 189:

/// <summary>
/// Gets a collection of all properties that pertain to the Project object.
/// </summary>
public virtual EnvDTE.Properties Properties
{
get
    {
    object outputProperties = null;
    IVsExtensibility3 vsExtensibility3 = this.project.GetService(typeof(IVsExtensibility)) as IVsExtensibility3;
    vsExtensibility3.GetProperties(this, this.project.NodeProperties, out outputProperties);
    return (EnvDTE.Properties)outputProperties;
    }
}

Old code

I reply the above code with following line.

/// <summary>
/// Gets a collection of all properties that pertain to the Project object.
/// </summary>
public virtual EnvDTE.Properties Properties
{
get
    {
      return new OAProperties(this.project.NodeProperties);
    }
}

New Code

Now open the IronPython Window application now its fine and have fun with IronPython plenty of blogs will come on IronPython and Python.
