.To display the .Net assembly properties, select the assembly below the ATEasy internal library from either the Workspace window or the Object view window. Then, select Properties from the View menu or from the context menu.
The following properties are available. You can modify its name, public flag (if exists), and its description.
Name of the assembly. You can modify this property using the Identifier Naming Conventions.
When this is visible and checked, the library is public and is available to other modules. This flag only shows for System and Driver modules. You can modify this property for .Net Assemblies.
Assembly File Name. This field contains the actual filename of the assembly.
You can specify an absolute pathname
(for example, c:\Windows\System\user32.dll), relative
path (..\file.dll or .\file.dll) or no
path at all (file.dll). To browse for the path in which the DLL
file is located, click .
The way in which you specify the file determines how ATEasy looks for the assembly:
● If you specify an absolute pathname (for example, C:\Windows\System\user32.dll), ATEasy searches in that path.
● If you specify relative pathname, ATEasy will look for the relative of the project target folder. When running from the IDE, target folder is executable or DLL folder as specified in the project properties, when running EXE or DLL without the IDE, the target folder is the folder where the EXE/DLL reside.
● If you do not specify a folder in the pathname (file.dll), or relative/absolute file was not found, ATEasy searches for the assembly in the folder from which the application loaded.
If
file was not loaded, ATEasy will attempt to load from GAC - Global
Assembly Cache folder. For .NET 1.0 - NET 3.5: c:\windows\assembly (%systemroot%\assembly),
for .NET 4.x: %windir%\Microsoft.NET\assembly
(v9) You can also embed to the pathname Path Variable to provide dynamic path for the DLL file name. To insert a path Variable, click on the right arrow button and select a path variable from the menu. For more information regarding path variables, see the Path Variables topic. Note that only applicable variables can be used for DLL file path since these variables are used at run-time and there is no workspace, project or current item available at run-time.
This field displays multi-line information: first it shows the absolute path of the assembly and second the size, and the time and date that the assembly was last modified. You cannot modify this property. Read only Information.
Shows the description of the library. You can modify this property for .Net Assemblies.
