AppDomainSetup.LoaderOptimization Property

Definition

Specifies the optimization policy used to load an executable.

C#
public LoaderOptimization LoaderOptimization { get; set; }

Property Value

An enumerated constant that is used with the LoaderOptimizationAttribute.

Examples

The following example creates a dynamic assembly and saves it to disk, and then uses the LoaderOptimization property to set the optimization policy used to load the assembly into an application domain.
