What attribute sets "global assembly name" in GAC?

Jay

I'm installing one of my dlls to the GAC but no matter what attribute I try,
the name that shows up in explorer under global assembly name is always just
the name of my assembly file. Is there a way to use a short filename but
have the fully-qualified assembly name show up in the gac?

Hi Jay,

The Assembly Name column shows the file name of the assembly, without the
".dll" extension. I mean, there is really a file named
System.Windows.Forms.dll !

BTW, a fully qualified name is not only "System.Windows.Forms", the fully
qualified name includes the version, culture and public key token.
