Where can I find the final list of assemblies shipped with the .NET Framework?

Question

I am trying to decide where the various assemblies came from in my GAC.

It would be useful if I could find a definitive list somewhere (for any given version of the framework), but so far you can find a list of assemblies that are included in the .NET Client Profile.

Answer 1

I suspect what you are looking for can be found here:

var filtered = assemb
.Where(x => x.Assembly.FullName.Contains("Version=4.0.0.0"))
.GroupBy(a => a.Name.Length)
.OrderByDescending(x => x.Key);
