PluginInfrastructure should provide a way to get assemblies associated with a plug-in

[epitzer]

Expose locations (names) of assemblies associated with a plugin (r2666)

I would prefer to be able to retrieve the complete information about the files of a plugin instead of the two properties Files and Assemblies in IPluginDescription. I suggest that there should be an interface for describing a file of a plugin (e.g. IPluginFile). gkronber, what do you think?

Yes this is probably the best approach. I will change the code according to this suggestion.

r2688:

• Implemented an enumerable to iterate through all PluginFiles as suggested by swagner
• replaced the Assemblies enumerable with an AssemblyName enumerable for internal usage in the plugin infrastructure.
• Using Assembly.Load() instead of Assembly.LoadFrom to prevent loading from GAC as far as possible.
