C++ (managed) assembly attributes

Bob Altman

Hi all,

I've inhertied a managed C++ (Visual Studio 2005) application. The project
apparently contains no assembly attributes (the kind of stuff that would be
in an AssemblyInfo.cs file). How do I add this stuff to a managed C++
project?

TIA - Bob

I created a new C++ project and copied the AssemblyInfo.cp p file from it.
It compiles, but the resulting exe file doesn't have a version resource.
What is the magic that causes .Net to create a version resource out of the
AssemblyInfo stuff for managed C++?

Though there is such magic in the C# compiler, there is not in the C++ compiler.
At least there wasn't in the VC7.1 compiler and as far as I know that has
not changed.

Hi Bob,

There's no magic in AssemblyInfo, whatever, just a bunch of [assembly:Xxxx]
attributes.

I believe you use the traditional Xxxx.RC file method of creating version
resources with C++.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan

Question about assembly info in C#

I am using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and I found that there is a file called "AssemblyInfo.cs", which is something like I attached below. Would anyone please let me know what is the purpose of this file? Or are there any equivalent stuff I can imagine in C++ or Java? Thanks a lot.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
