ICLRStrongName Interface

Updated: August 2010

Groups all strong naming global static functions that are exported by MSCorEE.dll into a single interface. All ICLRStrongName methods return standard COM HRESULTs.

Methods

Method	Description
ICLRStrongName::GetHashFromAssemblyFile Method	Gets a hash of the specified assembly file, using the specified hash algorithm.
ICLRStrongName::GetHashFromAssemblyFileW Method	Gets a hash of the assembly file specified as a Unicode string, using the specified hash algorithm.
ICLRStrongName::GetHashFromBlob Method	Gets a hash of the assembly at the specified memory address, using the specified hash algorithm.
ICLRStrongName::GetHashFromFile Method	Generates a hash over the contents of the specified file.
ICLRStrongName::GetHashFromFileW Method	Generates a hash over the contents of the file specified by a Unicode string.
ICLRStrongName::GetHashFromHandle Method	Generates a hash over the contents of the file with the specified file handle, using the specified hash algorithm.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameCompareAssemblies Method	Determines whether two assemblies differ only by their strong name signatures.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameFreeBuffer Method	Frees memory that was allocated with a previous call to a strong name method such as StrongNameGetPublicKey, StrongNameTokenFromPublicKey, or StrongNameSignatureGeneration.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameGetBlob Method	Fills the specified buffer with the binary representation of the executable file at the specified address.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameGetBlobFromImage Method	Gets a binary representation of the assembly image at the specified memory address.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameGetPublicKey Method	Gets the public key from a private/public key pair.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameHashSize Method	Gets the buffer size required for a hash, using the specified hash algorithm.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameKeyDelete Method	Deletes the specified key container.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameKeyGen Method	Creates a new public/private key pair for strong name use.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameKeyGenEx Method	Generates a new public/private key pair with the specified key size for strong name use.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameKeyInstall Method	Imports a public/private key pair into a container.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameSignatureGeneration Method	Generates a strong name signature for the specified assembly.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameSignatureGenerationEx Method	Generates a strong name signature for the specified assembly, based on the specified flags.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameSignatureSize Method	Returns the size of the strong name signature.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameSignatureVerification Method	Gets a value indicating whether the assembly manifest at the supplied path contains a strong name signature, which is verified according to the specified flags.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameSignatureVerificationEx Method	Gets a value indicating whether the assembly manifest at the supplied path contains a strong name signature.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameSignatureVerificationFromImage Method	Verifies that an assembly that has already been mapped to memory is valid for the associated public key.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameTokenFromAssembly Method	Creates a strong name token from the specified assembly file.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameTokenFromAssemblyEx Method	Creates a strong name token from the specified assembly file, and returns the public key.
ICLRStrongName::StrongNameTokenFromPublicKey Method	Gets a token representing a public key.

Remarks

You can get an instance of the ICLRStrongName by calling the ICLRRuntimeInfo::GetInterface method using CLSID_CLRStrongName and IID_ICLRStrongName as parameters.
