UnregisterAssembly Class

  • Article

This API supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Implements the UnregisterAssembly task. Use the UnregisterAssembly element in your project file to create and execute this task. For usage and parameter information, see UnregisterAssembly Task.

MSBuild is now included in Visual Studio instead of the .NET Framework. You can use MSBuild 12.0 side-by-side with versions previously deployed with the .NET Framework.For more information, see What's New in MSBuild 12.0.

Remarks

Framework64/<version>/UnRegisterAssemblyTask cannot resolve a library of COM objects registered as 32-bit components. Framework/<version>/UnRegisterAssemblyTask cannot resolve a library of COM objects registered as 64-bit components.

For example, if you register a library of COM objects called ClassLibrary1 as 32-bit components on a 64-bit machine, run Visual Studio, and change the target to x64, the build fails with the following error:

ClassLibrary1.dll is not a valid assembly

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
