Remarks

Important

Starting with the .NET Framework 4, the HashAlgorithm property of an AssemblyName object that is returned by this method is AssemblyHashAlgorithm.None if there is no hash algorithm for the referenced assembly, or if the hash algorithm of the referenced assembly is not identified by the System.Configuration.Assemblies.AssemblyHashAlgorithm enumeration. In previous versions of the .NET Framework, the HashAlgorithm property returned AssemblyHashAlgorithm.SHA1 in this situation.
