AssemblyName::Name Property
Visual Studio 2010
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.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The following example emits a dynamic assembly and saves it to the current directory. When the assembly is created, the Name property is used to set the simple name of the dynamic assembly.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Reflection; using namespace System::Threading; using namespace System::Reflection::Emit; static void MakeAssembly( AssemblyName^ myAssemblyName, String^ fileName ) { // Get the assembly builder from the application domain associated with the current thread. AssemblyBuilder^ myAssemblyBuilder = Thread::GetDomain()->DefineDynamicAssembly( myAssemblyName, AssemblyBuilderAccess::RunAndSave ); // Create a dynamic module in the assembly. ModuleBuilder^ myModuleBuilder = myAssemblyBuilder->DefineDynamicModule( "MyModule", fileName ); // Create a type in the module. TypeBuilder^ myTypeBuilder = myModuleBuilder->DefineType( "MyType" ); // Create a method called 'Main'. MethodBuilder^ myMethodBuilder = myTypeBuilder->DefineMethod( "Main", static_cast<MethodAttributes>(MethodAttributes::Public | MethodAttributes::HideBySig | MethodAttributes::Static), void::typeid, nullptr ); // Get the Intermediate Language generator for the method. ILGenerator^ myILGenerator = myMethodBuilder->GetILGenerator(); // Use the utility method to generate the IL instructions that print a String* to the console. myILGenerator->EmitWriteLine( "Hello World!" ); // Generate the 'ret' IL instruction. myILGenerator->Emit( OpCodes::Ret ); // End the creation of the type. myTypeBuilder->CreateType(); // Set the method with name 'Main' as the entry point in the assembly. myAssemblyBuilder->SetEntryPoint( myMethodBuilder ); myAssemblyBuilder->Save( fileName ); } int main() { // Create a dynamic assembly with name 'MyAssembly' and build version '1.0.0.2001'. AssemblyName^ myAssemblyName = gcnew AssemblyName; myAssemblyName->Name = "MyAssembly"; myAssemblyName->Version = gcnew Version( "1.0.0.2001" ); MakeAssembly( myAssemblyName, "MyAssembly.exe" ); // Get all the assemblies currently loaded in the application domain. array<Assembly^>^myAssemblies = Thread::GetDomain()->GetAssemblies(); // Get the dynamic assembly named 'MyAssembly'. Assembly^ myAssembly = nullptr; for ( int i = 0; i < myAssemblies->Length; i++ ) { if ( String::Compare( myAssemblies[ i ]->GetName()->Name, "MyAssembly" ) == 0 ) myAssembly = myAssemblies[ i ]; } if ( myAssembly != nullptr ) { Console::WriteLine( "\nDisplaying the assembly name\n" ); Console::WriteLine( myAssembly ); } }
