Gets the public key token, which is the last 8 bytes of the SHA-1 hash of the public key under which the application or assembly is signed.

public:
 cli::array <System::Byte> ^ GetPublicKeyToken();

public byte[] GetPublicKeyToken ();

public byte[]? GetPublicKeyToken ();

member this.GetPublicKeyToken : unit -> byte[]

Public Function GetPublicKeyToken () As Byte()

Returns

Byte[]

A byte array that contains the public key token.

Examples

The following example emits a dynamic assembly and saves it to the current directory. When the assembly is created, the SetPublicKeyToken method is used to set the assembly's public key token. The GetPublicKeyToken method is then used to retrieve the public key token, which is displayed to the console.
