Question

How to provide copy right and description in a xsltc compiled dll?

xsltc takes version, keyfile etc as arguments but could not find a way to provide copy right, description or an AsseblyInfo file.

Hi @Sajith ,

You can compile your XSLT file into an intermediate assembly (.dll) using xsltc.exe and then use al.exe (Assembly Linker) to add metadata.

Create an AssemblyInfo.cs file with the desired metadata:

using System.Reflection;

[assembly: AssemblyTitle("My XSLT Compiled Assembly")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("This is a compiled XSLT assembly.")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("MyCompany")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("MyProduct")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("© 2025 MyCompany")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]

Repackage the compiled DLL with metadata using al.exe

al.exe /out:FinalStylesheet.dll /embed:MyStylesheet.dll /title:"My XSLT Assembly" /product:"MyProduct" /copyright:"© 2025 MyCompany"

Best Regards.
