ObfuscateAssemblyAttribute.AssemblyIsPrivate Property
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Gets a Boolean value indicating whether the assembly was marked private.
public:
property bool AssemblyIsPrivate { bool get(); };public bool AssemblyIsPrivate { get; }member this.AssemblyIsPrivate : boolPublic ReadOnly Property AssemblyIsPrivate As BooleanProperty Value
true if the assembly was marked private; otherwise, false.
Examples
The following code example shows how the attribute constructor sets the AssemblyIsPrivate property to true, to specify that an assembly is private. The StripAfterObfuscation property is false, to prevent the obfuscation tool from stripping the attribute after processing.
using System;
using System.Reflection;
[assembly: ObfuscateAssemblyAttribute(true,
StripAfterObfuscation=false)]
Imports System.Reflection
<Assembly: ObfuscateAssemblyAttribute(False, _
StripAfterObfuscation:=False)>
Remarks
A private assembly is used only by the application of which it is a part, and not by other software.
Important
Applying this attribute does not automatically obfuscate the assembly. Applying the attribute is an alternative to creating a configuration file for the obfuscation tool. That is, it merely provides instructions for an obfuscation tool. Microsoft recommends that vendors of obfuscation tools follow the semantics described here. However, there is no guarantee that a particular tool follows Microsoft recommendations.
