ElektroStudios/.NET-Assembly-Info-Shell-Extension-for-Windows

This system is a Windows Shell extension designed to display detailed metadata about .NET assemblies within the file properties dialog. It leverages the SharpShell library to implement a property page that presents product, build, and identity information by interfacing with the Windows Fusion API. The application targets the .NET Framework 4.8.1 and relies on specific NuGet packages for assembly inspection and metadata loading.

The .NET Assembly Info Shell Extension is introduced as a new feature, adding a Windows Shell extension that displays detailed information about .NET assemblies in the file properties dialog. The implementation includes a property page UI with tabs for Product, Build, and Identity details, alongside the underlying C\# and VB.NET code for assembly inspection, interop with the Windows Fusion API, and embedded application resources.

Source/NET Assembly Info ShellEx · high confidence

The SharpShell library's XML documentation file (SharpShell.xml) and application configuration files for ServerRegistrationManager and SharpShell Easy Log were added. The configuration files specify .NET Framework 4.5 and 4.6 as supported runtimes, while the documentation file provides API reference for SharpShell attributes such as AssociationType, COMServerAssociation, and RegistrationName.

SharpShell · high confidence

The project file and packages.config for the NET Assembly Info ShellEx component have been updated to target .NET Framework 4.8.1. This includes adding new NuGet package references for System.Collections.Immutable, System.Reflection.Metadata, and System.Reflection.MetadataLoadContext (all version 10.0.9), as well as updated versions for System.Buffers, System.Memory, and System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.
