IAssemblyPostProcessor.PostProcessAssembly Method (String)
Called before the assembly is loaded to allow the implementing class to modify the assembly.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Parameters
- path
-
Type:
System.String
The path to the assembly.
The AssemblyBuilder class calls this method after the assembly has been compiled. Any actions to be taken before loading the assembly should be included in this method.
The following code example demonstrates how to create an implementation of the IAssemblyPostProcessor interface, and register it in the Web.config file of a Web application.
The first part of the code example creates a class named Samples.Process.postProcessTest that implements the IAssemblyPostProcessor interface. This class performs the simple action of writing a file when the PostProcessAssembly method is called.
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Imports System Imports System.Web.Compilation Imports System.IO Namespace Samples.Process Public Class postProcessTest Implements IAssemblyPostProcessor Sub Main() End Sub Public Sub PostProcessAssembly(ByVal path As String) _ Implements IAssemblyPostProcessor.PostProcessAssembly Dim sw As StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText("c:\compile\MyTest.txt") sw.WriteLine("Compiled assembly:") sw.WriteLine(path) sw.Close() End Sub Public Sub Dispose() Implements IDisposable.Dispose End Sub End Class End Namespace
Compile the class into a .dll file with the command csc /target:library postProcessTest.cs. Add the resulting .dll file to the Bin folder of an ASP.NET application and register the .dll in the Web.config file, as shown in the following code.
<compilation debug="true" assemblyPostProcessorType="Samples.Process.postProcessTest" />
When a user visits the Web site, the Web application is dynamically compiled and the file MyTest.txt will be written to C:\compile.
