Provides a managed view of loaded types, methods, and fields. Enables you to create and invoke types dynamically.

Public Class AssemblyDescriptionAttribute Defines an assembly description custom attribute for an assembly manifest.
Public Class AssemblyFileVersionAttribute Instructs a compiler to use a specific version number for the file version resource.
Public Class AssemblyFlagsAttribute Specifies whether the assembly being attributed supports side-by-side execution on the same computer, in the same process, or in the same application domain.
Public Class AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute Defines additional version information for an assembly manifest.
