Assembly Information Dialog Box

  • Article

The Assembly Information dialog box is used to specify the values of the .NET Framework global assembly attributes, which are stored in the AssemblyInfo file created automatically with your project. In Solution Explorer, the file is located in the My Project node in Visual Basic (click Show All files to view it); it is located under Properties in Visual C#. For more information about assembly attributes, see Global Attributes in Visual Basic or Global Attributes (C# Programming Guide).
