AssemblyKeyFileAttribute Constructor

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Initializes a new instance of the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute class with the name of the file containing the key pair to generate a strong name for the assembly being attributed.

Namespace:  System.Reflection
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    keyFile As String _
)

public AssemblyKeyFileAttribute(
    string keyFile
)

Parameters

  • keyFile
    Type: System.String
    The name of the file containing the key pair.

Remarks

There is no default path for the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute constructor. The value set by the constructor is interpreted by the linker, or by Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, that invokes the linker.

Caution noteCaution:

Because the path and file name persist, ensure that the string you use with AssemblyKeyFileAttribute does not contain sensitive information.
