Hello friends

I wish to determine at runtime whether a dll file is a .Net asembly or COM.
Sure, I could try and load it into an assembly object and trap the exception
that results

------------------------------------------------------
Dim _Assembly As System.Reflection.Assembly
Try
_Assembly =
System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFile(MyFileInfo.FullName)
Catch ex As Exception When ex.Message = "An attempt was
made to load a program with an incorrect format."
'not a .NET assembly
End Try
-----------------------------------------------------

But I think there must be a more inteligent way..

Thank you

Ben
