How do you loop through currently loaded assemblies?

by

Getting loaded assemblies for the current AppDomain:

var loadedAssemblies = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies();

Getting the assemblies referenced by another assembly:

var referencedAssemblies = someAssembly.GetReferencedAssemblies();

Note that if assembly A references assembly B and assembly A is loaded, that does not imply that assembly B is also loaded. Assembly B will only be loaded if and when it is needed. For that reason, GetReferencedAssemblies() returns AssemblyName instances rather than Assembly instances.
