AssemblyMetadata in .NET < 4.5?

[cmeeren]

I tried creating a .NET 4.0 project. Unfortunately, the AssemblyMetadata attribute does not seem to exist. Is there an alternative?

Yes, AssemblyMetadata is only available in .NET >= 4.5.

But it works also with an "user defined" attribute with the same FullName:

namespace System.Reflection
{
    [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Assembly, AllowMultiple = true)]
    public sealed class AssemblyMetadataAttribute : Attribute
    {
        public AssemblyMetadataAttribute(string key, string value) { }
    }
}

Thanks. Does it have to be defined in System.Reflection?

Yes.
