/FUfile

Arguments

  • file
    Specifies the metadata file to reference in this compilation.

Remarks

Specify one file per compiler option.

If you are referencing metadata to use the Friend Assemblies (C++) feature, you cannot use /FU; you must reference the metadata in code with #using (and the [as_friend] attribute).
