IForeAssemblyBinary.HiddenReferences

Syntax

HiddenReferences: Array;

Description

The HiddenReferences property returns an array of hidden links.

Comments

If the current assembly calls the class method that is a part of class hierarchy, then for this assembly, hidden links to all assemblies containing all classes and interfaces of the hierarchy are added.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an assembly with the ASSM_TEST identifier.

Add a link to the Fore, Metabase system assembly.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    ForeService: IForeServices;
    Runtime: IForeRuntime;
    AssmBin: IForeAssemblyBinary;
    s: String;
Begin
    ForeService := MetabaseClass.Active As IForeServices;
    Runtime := ForeService.GetRuntime;
    //Get assembly metadata
    AssmBin := Runtime.ResolveAssembly("ASSM_TEST");
    Debug.WriteLine(AssmBin.HiddenReferences.Length);
    For Each s In AssmBin.HiddenReferences Do
        Debug.WriteLine("Assembly: " + s + ". Compile time: " + AssmBin.GetReferenceTimeStamp(s).ToString);
    End For;
End Sub UserProc;

On executing the example the development environment console will display the list of assemblies to which there are hidden links in the specified assembly. Date and time of assemblies compilation will be also displayed.
