Methods
public
object
Clone()
Makes a copy of this <see cref="T:System.Reflection.AssemblyName" /> object.
Returns An object that is a copy of this <see cref="T:System.Reflection.AssemblyName" /> object.
public static
AssemblyName
GetAssemblyName(string assemblyFile)
Gets the <see cref="T:System.Reflection.AssemblyName" /> for a given file.
Returns An object that represents the given assembly file.
assemblyFile
The path for the assembly whose <see cref="T:System.Reflection.AssemblyName" /> is to be returned.
public
void
GetObjectData(Runtime.Serialization.SerializationInfo info,
Runtime.Serialization.StreamingContext context)
Gets serialization information with all the data needed to recreate an instance of this <see langword="AssemblyName" /> .
info
The object to be populated with serialization information.
context

public
byte[]
GetPublicKey()
Gets the public key of the assembly.
Returns A byte array that contains the public key of the assembly.
public
byte[]
GetPublicKeyToken()

Returns A byte array that contains the public key token.
public
void
OnDeserialization(object sender)
Implements the <see cref="T:System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable" /> interface and is called back by the deserialization event when deserialization is complete.
sender
