ProcessorArchitecture
Keywords: ObjectClrOption Use processorArchitecture GAC Assembly
Question:
My GAC assemblies include the processorArchitecture segment and the WB samples stop at the PublicKey. Both work but was wondering if that extra segment might be important for certain assemblies.
Answer:
For the most part the CLR will do the right thing so the 'processorArchitecture' part of the assembly's strong name is not necessary unless you are using functionality that is very specific to an architecture. Otherwise, it is probably
better to not use it. The MSFT assembly name documentation states, "Processor architecture is not required for strong names."
