NoteThe 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 example creates an instance of AssemblyName from a display name. The individual elements of the display name are output to the console as properties of the AssemblyName object.
