Editing resource in managed c++ - Question 2

[Kaixin]

Hello,

In a managed c++ project, one can specify general information in the file
AssemblyInfo.cpp. For example, AssemblyCompanyAttribute and
AssemblyProductAttribute.

Can I see this information in the assembly's windows properties page, other
than viewing it as part of the assembly manifest information?

Thanks.

Hi Kaixin,

Thanks for you posting in the group!

The attribute information in the AssemblyInfo.cpp file is not design for
the file property page, it is some assembly attribute can be reflected or
consumed by other assembly or itself, meanwhile it can contain some
important security and version control data.

The file property page's info is some general file properties info for any
kinds of the files under Windows OS.

So there is no way to see these assembly attribute information in the
properties page, you should view it as part of the assembly manifest
information.

Hope this explanation can answer your question!

Hi Kaixin,

Thanks for your quickly response!

I guess that we do not really have a simple way to specify the version

stamp for all the assemblies together, without going through each project's
AssemblyInfo.cpp or AssemblyInfo.cs

With VS.NET IDE, I think so.

Hello Kaixin,

In VS.NET IDE, there is no tab to get assembly's version, product, company
info. We could only get this info from the assembly's property page in
windows explorer.

If there is anything unclear, please feel free to post here.

Hello Gary,
Sorry that I was side-tracked. If possible, could you please show me step by
step how, with VS.NET IDE. We do use this development environment.
Thanks.

I am afraid that you maybe misunderstand my meaning in my last reply.

With VS.NET IDE, we don't have a simple way to specify the version
stamp for all the assemblies together, without going through each project's
AssemblyInfo.cpp or AssemblyInfo.cs.

At this point, I agree with you.

Thanks!
