Where is System.Reflecti on.dll assembly?

Hi, I am using FXCop on my c# project and it is complaining about
signing the assembly with a strong name key. All the documentation I
can find says to do:

using System.Reflecti on;
....
[assembly:Assemb lyKeyFileAttrib ute("foo.key")] namespace Foo

Which is fine, except that I need to add a reference in my Project to
the System.Reflecti on.dll assembly and I can't find it. I have .NET
2.0 Framework installed and can find all my other necessary assemblies
at C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v2.0.50727 \. Do I need to
download System.Reflecti on somewhere? I thought it was a core
assembly? Help!

1) System.Reflecti on is a namespace in the Microsoft Common Runtime Library
(mscorlib.dll), normally you don't need to add the reference to this
assembly unless you accidentally removed it.

2) Why exactly do you need the System.Reflecti on namespace for?

3) Also try to centralize assembly attributes in \Properties\Ass emblyInfo.cs
that's what it is made for.

Just ignore my question on why you need the System.Reflecti on namespace.

Also did you know that in Visual Studio 2005 it is possible to sign your
projects through the properties? This will inject the correct attributes in
AssemblyInfo.cs .

Right-click a project and select Properties and then click on the tab
"Signing".
