Remarks

The AssemblyName object contains information about an assembly, which you can use to bind to that assembly. An assembly's identity consists of the following:

• Simple name.

• Version number.

• Cryptographic key pair.

• Supported culture.

The simple name is typically the file name for the manifest file without its extension. The key pair includes a public and private key, used to create strong-name signatures for assemblies.

All compilers that support the common language runtime will emit the simple name of a nested class, and reflection constructs a mangled name when queried, in accordance with the following conventions.

Delimiter	Meaning
Backslash (\)	Escape character.
Comma (,)	Precedes the assembly name.
Plus sign (+)	Precedes a nested class.

For example, the fully qualified name for a class might look like this:

ContainingClass+NestedClass,MyAssembly

A "++" becomes "\+\+", and a "\" becomes "\\".

This qualified name can be persisted and later used to load the Type. To search for and load a Type, use GetType either with the type name only or with the assembly qualified type name. GetType with the type name only will look for the Type in the caller's assembly and then in the System assembly. GetType with the assembly qualified type name will look for the Type in any assembly.

A fully specified AssemblyName must have the name, culture, public key or public key token, major version, minor version, build number, and revision number parameters. The last four are packaged in the Version type.

To create a simple name, create an AssemblyName object using the parameterless constructor and set the Name. The other properties are optional.

To create a full strong name, create an AssemblyName object using the parameterless constructor and set the Name and KeyPair. The other properties are optional. Use SetPublicKey and SetPublicKeyToken to set the public key and the strong name. The strong name signing always uses the SHA1 hash algorithm.

To ensure that the names are constructed correctly, use the following properties:

• Assembly.FullName

• AssemblyName.FullName

• Type.AssemblyQualifiedName

You can also get the name by using the /l option with the Gacutil.exe (Global Assembly Cache Tool)

For a partially specified strong name, create an AssemblyName object using the parameterless constructor and set the name and public key. An assembly created using such an AssemblyName can be signed later using the Assembly Linker (Al.exe).

It is possible to specify a public key and a KeyPair with inconsistent values. This can be useful in developer scenarios. In this case, the public key retrieved with GetPublicKey specifies the correct public key, while the KeyPair specifies the public and private keys used during development. When the runtime detects a mismatch between the KeyPair and the public key, it looks up in the registry the correct key that matches the public key.

The format of the display name of an AssemblyName is a comma-delimited Unicode string that begins with the name, as follows:

Name <,Culture = CultureInfo> <,Version = Major.Minor.Build.Revision> <, StrongName> <,PublicKeyToken> '\0'

Name is the textual name of the assembly. CultureInfo is the RFC1766-format-defined culture. Major, Minor, Build, and Revision are the major version, minor version, build number, and revision number of the assembly. StrongName is the hexadecimal-encoded low-order 64 bits of the hash value of the public key generated using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm and the public key specified by SetPublicKey. PublicKeyToken is the hexadecimal-encoded public key specified by SetPublicKey.

Hexadecimal encoding is defined as the conversion of each byte of a binary object to two hexadecimal characters, progressing from least to most significant byte. Additional display values will be added as deemed necessary.

If the full public key is known, then PublicKey may be substituted for StrongName.

Also note that except for Name, which must come first, the lexical order of parameters is unimportant. However, any parameter (Version, Culture, StrongName or PublicKey) not specifically set is considered to be omitted, and the AssemblyName is then considered partial. When specifying partial information, Name parameters must be specified in the order described above.

When supplying a display name, the convention StrongName =null or PublicKey= null indicates that binding and matching against a simply named assembly is required. Additionally, the convention Culture= "" (double quote representing an empty string) indicates matching against the default culture.

The following example shows an AssemblyName for a simply named assembly with default culture.

ExampleAssembly, Culture=""

The following example shows a fully specified reference for a strongly named assembly with culture "en".

ExampleAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=en, PublicKeyToken=a5d015c7d5a0b012

Constructors

AssemblyName()	Initializes a new instance of the AssemblyName class.
AssemblyName(String)	Initializes a new instance of the AssemblyName class with the specified display name.

Properties

CodeBase	Obsolete. Gets or sets the location of the assembly as a URL.
ContentType	Gets or sets a value that indicates what type of content the assembly contains.
CultureInfo	Gets or sets the culture supported by the assembly.
CultureName	Gets or sets the name of the culture associated with the assembly.
EscapedCodeBase	Obsolete. Gets the URI, including escape characters, that represents the codebase.
Flags	Gets or sets the attributes of the assembly.
FullName	Gets the full name of the assembly, also known as the display name.
HashAlgorithm	Obsolete. Gets or sets the hash algorithm used by the assembly manifest.
KeyPair	Obsolete. Gets or sets the public and private cryptographic key pair that is used to create a strong name signature for the assembly.
Name	Gets or sets the simple name of the assembly. This is usually, but not necessarily, the file name of the manifest file of the assembly, minus its extension.
ProcessorArchitecture	Obsolete. Gets or sets a value that identifies the processor and bits-per-word of the platform targeted by an executable.
Version	Gets or sets the major, minor, build, and revision numbers of the assembly.
VersionCompatibility	Obsolete. Gets or sets the information related to the assembly's compatibility with other assemblies.

Methods

Clone()	Makes a copy of this AssemblyName object.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetAssemblyName(String)	Gets the AssemblyName for a given file.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Obsolete. Gets serialization information with all the data needed to recreate an instance of this AssemblyName.
GetPublicKey()	Gets the public key of the assembly.
GetPublicKeyToken()	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.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
OnDeserialization(Object)	Implements the ISerializable interface and is called back by the deserialization event when deserialization is complete.
ReferenceMatchesDefinition(AssemblyName, AssemblyName)	Returns a value indicating whether two assembly names are the same. The comparison is based on the simple assembly names.
SetPublicKey(Byte[])	Sets the public key identifying the assembly.
SetPublicKeyToken(Byte[])	Sets 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.
ToString()	Returns the full name of the assembly, also known as the display name.
