/NOASSEMBLY (Create a MSIL Module)

/NOASSEMBLY

Remarks

The /NOASSEMBLY option tells the linker to create an image for the current output file without a .NET Framework assembly. An MSIL output file without an assembly manifest is called a module.

By default, an assembly is created. You can also use the /LN (Create MSIL Module) compiler option to create a module.

Other linker options that affect assembly generation are:

• /ASSEMBLYDEBUG

• /ASSEMBLYLINKRESOURCE

• /ASSEMBLYMODULE

• /ASSEMBLYRESOURCE

• /DELAYSIGN

• /KEYFILE

• /KEYCONTAINER

To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment

1. Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.

2. Select the Configuration Properties > Linker > Advanced property page.

3. Modify the Turn Off Assembly Generation property.
