Getting Assembly Version?

[mase]

Hello everyone,

I have been trying to get the assembly version of the third party DLL that I use in my program, but I'm unable to retrieve it and I can not seem to know why. When I create my own DLL just for testing, it works, but when apply the same method to retrieve third party DLL, it doesn't work.

This works when I try to get the version of my own test DLL:

                string assemblyPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom(@"\Windows\TestLogFile.dll").GetName().CodeBase);
                listBox1.Items.Add(assemblyPath);
                System.Version objVersion1 = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyPath + @"\TestLogFile.dll").GetName().Version;
                testMsg.Text = objVersion1.ToString();

But when I try the same approach just to get the path to the third party DLL, but can't get it:

                string assemblyPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom(@"\Windows\DMRK.dll").GetName().CodeBase);
                listBox1.Items.Add(assemblyPath);

Error: File or assembly name "\Windows\DMRK.dll"; or one of its dependencies, was not found.

Does anybody know why?

thanks,
