FAQ: How do I retrieve assembly attributes at runtime?

i know how to get the assembly's attributes at runtime, it's like this: Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); string asmDesc = ((AssemblyDescriptionAttribute)asm.GetCustomAttributes(typeof( AssemblyDescriptionAttribute ), false )[0]).Description; but how to set it at runtime?? I just found AssemblyBuilder.SetCustomAttribute(),  but can AssemblyBuilder be used in current asm or a assigned asm? thx~

I am trying to run a Virtual Earth web service call from SQL server, and need to registier the System.Runtime.Serialization.dll assembly in SQL.  Is this possible?ThanksJay

First, yes I've read every article I can find including this one: http://msmvps.com/blogs/rfennell/archive/2010/03/27/mixed-mode-assembly-is-built-against-version-v2-0-50727-error-using-net-4-development-web-server.aspx Of course it's for web server stuff, but I found this in my config file and added it. However, my problem now is that if I build in release mode I get a hard error in the error list telling me the same thing, even though it runs fine in debug and has the information in my app.config file. The really anoying part is that the error doesn't tell you WHICH assembly is the offending one. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello! Note: The text above was translated into English. I experience this problem when adding DirectX references and usings to a Form in Visual Studio 10 Professional, Trial Version. The dlls (Microsoft.DirectX; Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D) are included from X:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\DirectX for Managed Code\1.0.2902.0\. I really like to begin coding DirectX. Do you know what this Message means? What shall I do?   Many thanks, Regards

Hi , How would runtime behave, if I have an assembly with same version number in two different folders on my machine? How to restrict the runtime to read from bin folder only for my specific assembly?        

I'm building an application targeted at the .NET Framework 4 and want to use the Logging Application Block and notice that the 5.0.414.0 version installed by the MSI is targeted at the 2.0.50727 runtime.  If this 2.0 version of the Logging Application Block is used, are there any performance problems or other issues which would suggest that I install the Logging Application Block source code and compile it targeted at .NET Framework 4 and use that DLL??

TIA,

George

 

I am desigining a windows form wherein I allow the user to upload a particular assembly file. The assembly file can be present at any location on the user's hard drive. I want to now load this assembly and read the classes present in this assembly. I am doing this using Reflection, however I am not unable to unload the assembly which is once loaded  through reflection. I have tried using AppDomains, but I am unable to load the assembly through AppDomain. Whenever I try to load my assembly from the appDomain I get a error message "The specified assembly file or one of its dependencies does not exist". I have set the ApplicationBase path of the AppDomain to the location where the assembly file is being uploaded from. However I am still not able to load the assembly from the AppDomain.

Can anyone please let me know in case I am missing something. Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vandana

 

Hola.

He estado buscando mucho y ya no se que hacer con este error. Tengo reporting services 2008, .net framework 4 y trabajo con report builder 2.

Todos los reportes los puedo publicar correctamente en el report server, pero cuando voy a publicar el que tiene referencia a una dll propia obtengo este error: this assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded (rsErrorLoadingCodeModule).

Ya reinstale el framework 4, la dll ya se encuentra en la carpeta bin de report server y ya esta registrada usando la herramienta gacutil.exe.

Mi propia dll esta hecha bajo .net framework4.

Este montaje lo tengo en un servidor y funciona correctamente, pero el problema se me presenta a subir esto es un servidor propio de un cliente.

Agradezco la colabroración que me puedan prestar.

PD. me disculpan si lo publique en el sitio que no era... pero no supe a que otra categoría asociarlo.

Could not load file or assembly '' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.

I have a .Net 2.0 prject , and need call .Net3.5 assembly. If the machine set up .net3.5, it can work;  otherwise it will throw exception. Now I want to prepair two aseembly, .net2.0 and .net3.5. They are same source and IO, but .net2.0 disable some .net3.5 functions. When I found the machine doesn't support .net3.5, I call the .net2.0 aseembly. How do it? 

Hi,

I moved an existing VS 2008 .Net 3.5 framework application into VS 2010 .Net 4.0 framework.  After some odd bugs with VS 2010 i can able to build the application.When i  run the application i got error like " Could not load file or assembly ' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.". Please tell me how can i resolve this issue?

You've been tasked with writing a Windows Form application using the .NET Framework that interacts with Microsoft Excel. If you are new to working with Excel in .NET and are having trouble learning how to format certain cells or cell ranges, then this little tip will come in handy. Rather than scour the internet hoping to find the correct set of constants or method syntax for formatting your spreadsheet, use the built in tools in Excel to write the familiar VBA code for you. Then, you can paste the VBA code generated by Excel into the sample C# code below and run it dynamically at runtime.

Localization is the process of customizing your application to a particular language, culture or locale. Visual Studio provides support for localizing Windows Forms with much ease. In this article, we will see how to localize windows forms and give the user the ability to change to his preferred language at runtime.
When you run a localized application, the appearance is determined by two culture values. The UICulture property is used to specify which resource files will be loaded for the form. The Culture property, on the other hand, determines how strings such as dates, numerals, and currency amounts are formatted.
Let us see the steps required to create a localized form. You can then expand this example and adopt the same approach for the rest of the forms in your project
