My goal is to display information about the methods of some classes in an uploaded dll. Loading the assembly, finding the desired classes and their methods was already successfully done. Now I was trying to show whether a method is declared "async" or not.
I found a thread that tells me how to do it: How can I tell if a C# method is async/await via reflection?
Anyway, while testing, when I call this
(AsyncStateMachineAttribute)methodInfo.GetCustomAttribute(typeof(AsyncStateMachineAttribute))
I got a System.IO.FileNotFoundException - "Could not load file or assembly '{assembly identifier}' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.".
I found this exception in an unanswered thread, but it did not help me: How to prevent MemberInfo.IsDefined from throwing FileNotFoundException on irrelevant attributes?
I understand that the method I am looking at has an attribute that my code does not know. I do not want to load that reference because it is only a test case and many other different attributes can be found in the same situation.
So, I need an answer to one of two questions:
Is there a way to get the attribute "AsyncStateMachineAttribute", if it exists, ignoring the errors on other attributes?
Is there another way to check whether a method (from MethodInfo) is async?
Thanks in advance! :)
