Property Get AssemblyName() As String
Public Property Let AssemblyName( _
ByVal value As String)
Return Value
Returns the string literal name of the referenced assembly.
Remarks
All assemblies that are referenced by a project, but that are not part of the Microsoft .NET Framework, must be placed in the Application Base directory. You can reference the Application Base directory by setting the ApplicationBase property using the IVsaEngine.SetOption method.
Note
Only Visual Basic .NET uses the ApplicationBase property. JScript .NET can take the full path name to the assembly for its AssemblyName property. In both cases, however, the AssemblyName value is only used at compile time. At runtime, the .NET Framework loader (Fusion) searches for assemblies in a specific order, as described in How the Runtime Locates Assemblies. For more information about how the runtime uses file paths, see System.AppDomainSetup.
In addition to the errors noted below, the AssemblyExpected exception may be thrown when the IVsaEngine.Compile method is called if the AssemblyName property does not refer to a valid assembly.
The default value is the empty string ("""").
Because references require access to the file system in order to load the assembly DLL, System.Security.Permission.FileIOPermission is required to access this property.
The following table shows the exceptions that the AssemblyName property can throw.
