ADepends.exe — Assembly Dependency Checker

Description

Displays all assemblies that a given assembly is dependent on to load. This is a useful C# program found among the samples in the \Tool Developers Guide directory beneath the .NET Framework or Visual Studio .NET directory tree. You need to install these samples before you can use them, because they are not installed by default.

--config configfile, -O configfile

Generate an application configuration file. Requires the -console option.

--console, -C

Send output to the console (standard output).

--gui, -G

Display output in a window (default).

--help

Displays usage information and exits.

--relative path, -R path

Specify a directory path to use for the relative search path (see the RelativeSearchPath property of the System.AppDomain type).
