Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Gets or sets a Boolean value indicating whether the obfuscation tool should remove the attribute after processing.
public:
property bool StripAfterObfuscation { bool get(); void set(bool value); };public bool StripAfterObfuscation { get; set; }member this.StripAfterObfuscation : bool with get, setPublic Property StripAfterObfuscation As BooleanProperty Value
true if the obfuscation tool should remove the attribute after processing; otherwise, false. The default value for this property is true.
Examples
The following code example shows the ObfuscateAssemblyAttribute attribute with the StripAfterObfuscation property set to false, to prevent the obfuscation tool from stripping the attribute after processing.
using System;
using System.Reflection;
[assembly: ObfuscateAssemblyAttribute(true,
StripAfterObfuscation=false)]
Imports System.Reflection
<Assembly: ObfuscateAssemblyAttribute(False, _
StripAfterObfuscation:=False)>
Remarks
Attributes should not be stripped if your library will be included as part of another application, and obfuscated as part of that application.
Specifying that obfuscation tools should strip the ObfuscateAssemblyAttribute does not affect instances of ObfuscationAttribute that have been applied to types and members within the assembly.
Important
Applying this attribute does not automatically obfuscate the assembly. Applying the attribute is an alternative to creating a configuration file for the obfuscation tool. That is, it merely provides instructions for an obfuscation tool. Microsoft recommends that vendors of obfuscation tools follow the semantics described here. However, there is no guarantee that a particular tool follows Microsoft recommendations.
