assembly_name |
The name of the assembly that this module will be a part of. |
Remarks
The compiler processes the -moduleassemblyname option only if the -target:module option has been specified. This causes the compiler to create a module. The module created by the compiler is valid only for the assembly specified with the -moduleassemblyname option. If you place the module in a different assembly, run-time errors will occur.
The -moduleassemblyname option is needed only when the following are true:
A data type in the module needs access to a
Friendtype in a referenced assembly.The referenced assembly has granted friend assembly access to the assembly into which the module will be built.
For more information about creating a module, see -target (Visual Basic). For more information about friend assemblies, see Friend Assemblies.
Note
The -moduleassemblyname option is not available from within the Visual Studio development environment; it is available only when you compile from a command prompt.
