Properties

  Name Description
Public property AssemblyName Gets or sets the name of the target assembly. (Inherited from ProvideDependentAssemblyAttribute.)
Public property CodeBase Gets or sets a relative path from $PackageFolder$, or an absolute path rooted from an environment variable substitution (of format %variable%). (Inherited from ProvideDependentAssemblyAttribute.)
Public property Culture Gets or sets a string that specifies the language and country/region of the assembly. (Inherited from ProvideDependentAssemblyAttribute.)
Public property GenerateCodeBase Gets or sets the generated code base element. When false, no corresponding CodeBase element is generated for the redirected assembly (used for assemblies in the GAC).
Public property Guid Gets the identifier of this attribute instance. (Inherited from ProvideDependentAssemblyAttribute.)
Public property NewVersion Gets or sets the version of the assembly to use instead of the originally-requested version.
Public property OldVersion Gets the range of versions that will be redirected.
Public property OldVersionLowerBound Gets or sets the lower bound (inclusive) of the range of versions that will be redirected.
Public property OldVersionUpperBound Gets or sets the upper bound (inclusive) of the range of versions that will be redirected.
Public property PublicKeyToken Gets or sets a 16-character hexadecimal number which is the token part of the strong name of the assembly being redirected. (Inherited from ProvideDependentAssemblyAttribute.)
Public property TypeId Gets the current instance of this attribute. (Inherited from RegistrationAttribute.)

Methods

  Name Description
Public method Equals Infrastructure. Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method GetHashCode Returns the hash code for this instance. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method GetType Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method IsDefaultAttribute When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether the value of this instance is the default value for the derived class. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method Match When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Public method Register Registers this attribute with the given context. (Inherited from ProvideDependentAssemblyAttribute.)
Public method ToString Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
Public method Unregister Unregisters this attribute. (Inherited from ProvideDependentAssemblyAttribute.)

Explicit Interface Implementations

  Name Description
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.GetIDsOfNames Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.GetTypeInfo Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface. (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.GetTypeInfoCount Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1). (Inherited from Attribute.)
Explicit interface implemetationPrivate method _Attribute.Invoke Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object. (Inherited from Attribute.)

Remarks

By using the ProvideBindingRedirection attribute, you can specify binding redirection for the installation of an upgrade to an extensible component. When you ship an extensible Visual Studio component, this attribute prevents users of the component from having to install an old version of a dependent component. If you use the ProvideBindingRedirection attribute, you don't need to manually update the exe.config file to redirect users of the old assembly version to the new version.

Adding a ProvideBindingRedirection assembly attribute is an easy way to add a binding redirection entry to the pkgdef file. The pkgdef file is used to install the extension.

The following example shows a ProvideBindingRedirection entry in the AssemblyInfo.cs or AssemblyInfo.vb file:

<Assembly: ProvideBindingRedirection(AssemblyName:="ClassLibrary1",
    NewVersion:="3.0.0.0", OldVersionLowerBound:="1.0.0.0",
    OldVersionUpperBound:="2.0.0.0")> 
[assembly: ProvideBindingRedirection(AssemblyName = "ClassLibrary1",
    NewVersion = "3.0.0.0", OldVersionLowerBound = "1.0.0.0",
    OldVersionUpperBound = "2.0.0.0")]

When the project is built, the following entry is added to the pkgdef file:

[$RootKey$\RuntimeConfiguration\dependentAssembly\bindingRedirection\{EE3E8305-3E91-51CD-0B2D-8E8EFFDD081C}]
"name"="ClassLibrary1"
"publicKeyToken"=""
"culture"="neutral"
"oldVersion"="1.0.0.0-2.0.0.0"
"newVersion"="3.0.0.0"
"codeBase"="$PackageFolder$\ClassLibrary1.dll"

You can also add a bindingRedirection entry directly to a pkgdef file.
