Iterating through Global Assembly Cache on Mono

[Ludwig Wittgenstein]

Hello, all.

Can anybody point me to documentation about how can I
programmaticaly (via C#) iterate through the global assembly cache on
the Mono framework?

I know how to do it using Microsoft .NET on Windows by using a bunch
of P/Invokes against some COMs. However, that's obviously not a
portable solution if I want my application to run on Mono under Linux
and Mac OS X also. How does mono do it under Linux? It would be cool
if it actually had a managed API to do this stuff!

Ludwig,

This should help you out:

Note that this isn't a platform independent way of doing this either.
