How to get a list of Project References in C#

reference

I am still a bit of a noob.

I have a main app that loads plugins. I want to validate that all the Reference DLL's required to run the plugin exists in the Main App directory before I launch the plugin and if not, download it from a location.

Where I struggle is to get a list of references from the plugin.

I tried this:

List<assemblyname> a = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetReferencedAssemblies().ToList();

But the problem is, this only gives me the assemblies loaded at that stage. I need a list of all the assemblies referenced in the app, whether used or not, or loaded or not. Basically I need a replica list of the References List in Visual Studio.

Any advice please?
