Initializes a new instance of the AssemblyName class with the specified display name.
(in mscorlib.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub New ( _
assemblyName As String _
)
Dim assemblyName As String
Dim instance As New AssemblyName(assemblyName)
public AssemblyName(
string assemblyName
)
public:
AssemblyName(
String^ assemblyName
)
public function AssemblyName(
assemblyName : String
)
The supplied assemblyName is parsed, and the appropriate fields of the new AssemblyName are initialized with values from the display name. This is the recommended way of parsing display names. Writing your own code to parse display names is not recommended.
The following code example creates a dynamic assembly named MyAssembly.exe and saves it to your hard disk. After running the example, you can use the MSIL Disassembler (Ildasm.exe) to examine the assembly metadata.
