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

Re: C++ (managed) assembly attributes

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.
