We were using the AssemblyDescription attribute to add notes to our assemblies (e.g. fix/branch info).
The text was visible on XP in the file Properties/Comments. However in Windows 7 this field has been hidden.
Is there a way to show this field in explorer or any other tool?
Does MS explain anywhere why this field was removed and what we should use instead? (AssemblyTitle?)
In my test assembly I have this defined in my AssemblyInfo.cs
I can use either of these lines to retrieve that text from the resultant assembly:
via PowerShell
via C#
