IModule.ParentAssembly

Syntax

ParentAssembly: IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;

Description

The ParentAssembly property returns description of the parent assembly.

Comments

If a module/form is included in any assembly the Standalone property returns False and in this property there is a possibility to get a description of parent assembly. If a module/form is not included in any assembly they implement temporary assembly. Its parameters are available in the Assembly property.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a module with the TestModule identifier.

Sub Main;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Module: IModule;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Module := MB.ItemById("TestModule").Bind As IModule;
    If Not Module.Standalone Then
        Debug.WriteLine("Parent assembly: " + Module.ParentAssembly.Id);
        Debug.WriteLine("References of parent assembly: " + (Module.ParentAssembly.Bind As IAssembly).References);
    Else
        Debug.WriteLine("Module is not included in any repository assembly");
        Debug.WriteLine("Module references: " + Module.Assembly.References);
    End If;
End Sub Main;

After executing this example the development environment console displays information about module is displayed: parent assembly existence and connected assemblies.
