Syntax

HRESULT DefineAssembly (
    [in]  void                 *pbPublicKey,
    [in]  ULONG                cbPublicKey,
    [in]  ULONG                uHashAlgId,
    [in]  LPCWSTR              szName,
    [in]  ASSEMBLYMETADATA     *pMetaData,
    [in]  DWORD                dwAssemblyFlags,
    [out] mdAssembly           *pmda
);

Parameters

pbPublicKey [in] The public key that identifies the publisher of the assembly, or NULL if the assembly is not strongly named.

cbPublicKey [in] The size in bytes of pbPublicKey.

uHashAlgId [in] The identifier of the hashing algorithm to use to encrypt the files in the assembly, or NULL to specify the SHA-1 algorithm.

szName [in] The human-readable text name of the assembly. This value must not exceed 1024 characters.

pMetaData [in] A pointer to an ASSEMBLYMETADATA instance that contains the version, platform, and locale information for the assembly.

dwAssemblyFlags [in] A combination of CorAssemblyFlags values that describe features of the assembly.

pmda [out] A pointer to the metadata token.
