Where to find definitive list of assemblies that ship with .NET Framework?

I am trying to work out where various assemblies in my GAC have come from.

Would be useful if I could find a defintive list somewhere (for any given version of the framework), but so far can only find the list of assemblies that are included in the .NET Client Profile.

I suspect that what you're looking for can be found here:

 Directory of C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\RedistList

10/12/2010  03:47 PM              .
10/12/2010  03:47 PM              ..
03/18/2010  12:19 PM            15,715 AssemblyList_4_client.xml
03/18/2010  03:47 PM             8,220 AssemblyList_4_extended.xml
               2 File(s)         23,935 bytes

I would also look in

C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0
C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5
C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0

Note that on a 64-bit install you should look in Program Files (x86).

Probably the code shown in this could help

var filtered = assemb
.Where(x => x.Assembly.FullName.Contains("Version=4.0.0.0"))
.GroupBy(a => a.Name.Length)
.OrderByDescending(x => x.Key);
