Finding the assembly to go with the namespace

Question

I have a C# script executor, which execute an arbitary chunk of c#, by wrapping it, and executing it in its own appdomain. To compile it correctly, I need to know what assemblies it needs.

Is it the case that I need to extract the namespaces for the script and iterate through every assembly I can find, to find a match, or is their a simpler way to do it?

Thanks. Bob.

If you need to do this then that is pretty much what you will have to do. Also, remember that namespaces can span assemblies so make sure you grab all assemblies that have types with that namespace, not just the first one you find.
