StrongName Class
Provides the strong name of a code assembly as evidence for policy evaluation. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The StrongName type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | StrongName | Initializes a new instance of the StrongName class with the strong name public key blob, name, and version. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Clone | Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance. (Overrides EvidenceBase::Clone().) |
![]() | Copy | Creates an equivalent copy of the current StrongName. |
![]() | CreateIdentityPermission | Creates a StrongNameIdentityPermission that corresponds to the current StrongName. |
![]() | Equals | Determines whether the specified strong name is equal to the current strong name. (Overrides Object::Equals(Object).) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Gets the hash code of the current StrongName. (Overrides Object::GetHashCode().) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Creates a string representation of the current StrongName. (Overrides Object::ToString().) |
The StrongName class represents evidence of a unique, cryptographically strong name of a code assembly. The strong name consists of a public key, a given name, and a version. The public key corresponds to the publisher's private key which is kept secret, and with which the assembly must be signed in order for the strong name to be valid.
Strong names are typically assigned to assemblies using either AssemblyKeyFileAttribute, AssemblyKeyNameAttribute or AssemblyDelaySignAttribute in conjunction with the SN utility (see Sn.exe (Strong Name Tool)).
StrongNameIdentityPermission uses this class to confirm that calling code is in a particular strong-named code assembly.
