Question

Is there a way to add assembly attributes to a Managed C++ assembly? In a typical C# project, there is usually a line of code in the AssemblyInfo.cs file like the following one:

[assembly: AssemblyTitle('Some Assembly')]

I have a private assembly attribute that I want to add (not one of the version attributes that could be added through a resource file), and I am not sure if this is possible.

Answer 1

It is possible – the easy way is to add an AssemblyInfo.cpp file and put:

#include attributes.h //your attribute decl [assembly: MyCustomAttribute()]; 

It can be in any file you want, though.

edit – added required semicolon for assembly attribute
