Assembly and Type Name

Re: Assembly and Type Name

I don't know if there is an easier way - but I usually just throw
something like below into the code and copy it from the output
window...

Debug.WriteLine (typeof(Attribu teCollection).A ssemblyQualifie dName);

RE: Assembly and Type Name

For the full type name you need to put in configuratin file, it is actually
called "Assembly qualified name". For complex type and assmebly, I usually
use the following code to print them out:

=============== ===
Type type = typeof(System.N et.Cookie);

string fullname = type.AssemblyQu alifiedName;

Response.Write( "<br/>" + fullname);
=============== ==========

Or you can also use some tool such as reflector to inspect assembly's
FullName and append them to the Full typename so as to make up the Full
assembly qualified type name.

Hope this helps.

Re: Assembly and Type Name

Hi Steven,

Could you refer me to any documentation that explains the syntax for
"Assembly qualified name"?

I had a look at this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k8xx4k69.aspx

However, it doesn't explain the ``endpointValid ate`` section here:

"Microsoft.Serv iceModel.Sample s.EndpointValid ateElement, endpointValidat e,
Version=1.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= null"

Thank you for help,
Max

Yes it does - that's the name of the assembly containing
EndPointValidat eElement.

It's a slightly odd name for an assembly, admittedly, but it's
basically okay.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ifiedname.aspx
for some more examples.

Re: Assembly and Type Name

Hi Max,

As for the Assembly Qaulified name, it is actually combined with two parts:

1. The full type name

2. The full assemby name

For the type's fullname, it's quite straightforard, just
[Namespace]+[TypeName]

For assembly full name, you can refer to the following reference:

#Assembly Names
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...69(VS.71).aspx

#Assembly Display Names
http://blogs.msdn.com/suzcook/archiv.../29/57137.aspx

a full assembly name contains [AssemblyName], [Version],[Culture],[Public
Key Token]
