Public ReadOnly Property StrongName As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

A boolean value indicating whether the reference is signed with a public/private key pair.

Implements

StrongName

Attributes: DispIdAttribute

Examples

This example adds an Assembly and a COM reference to an open Visual Basic or Visual C# project. It then determines if the assembly reference has a strong name. For the COM reference, StrongName is false. To run this example as an add-in, see How to: Compile and Run the Automation Object Model Code Examples.

The default paths for the added reference are: <installation root>\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies for adodb.dll, and <installation root>\Program Files\Common Files\SpeechEngines\Microsoft for spcommon.dll. Replace <file path> in the example with these or other appropriate file paths.

Remarks

The returned value depends on the reference type.

Reference Type	Value Returned
Assembly	True if the reference has a strong name.
COM	False; COM objects do not have strong names.

Only assemblies with strong names may be placed in the global assembly cache. For more information on strong names and the global assembly cache, see Strong-Named Assemblies, Global Assembly Cache, and Working with Assemblies and the Global Assembly Cache.
