Attributes

Remarks

The Description property and Name property of a reference differ in purpose and length. The Name property, for example System.Windows.Forms, is meant to be descriptive yet short. The Description property may be longer and contain more detailed information. It has the same function as a COM type library description.

The Description property is stored as a custom attribute in the assembly. This is unlike most other properties exposed by the Reference object, which are stored in the metadata.

This read-only property may be changed in the development environment by editing the custom attributes in the AssemblyInfo.vb file (for Visual Basic projects) or the AssemblyInfo.cs file (C# projects).
