Answer 1

Generate a list of loaded assemblies in the current application domain using AppDomain.GetAssemblies() to see everything that's loaded

        Assembly[] loadedAssemblies = 
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies();

        foreach (Assembly assembly in loadedAssemblies)
        {
            Response.Write(assembly.FullName);
            Response.Write("<br />");
