Name
RegAsm.exe — Assembly Registration Utility
Synopsis
RegAsmassembly
[options
]
Description
Registers an assembly in the system registry. This allows COM clients
to call managed methods. You can also use it to generate the registry
file for future registration. If the assembly is only accessed from
one COM client, and that client lives in the same directory as the
assembly, you do not need to add the assembly to the GAC. If you want
the assembly to be accessible to all COM clients, you should add it
to the GAC (see
GacUtil.exe
).
Example
regasm /regfile:c.reg c.dll
Options
-
/?
,/help
Displays usage information and exits.
-
/codebase
Specifies a file path for the assembly. Do not use this if the assembly is in the GAC, or if you later plan to add it to the GAC. The assembly must be signed with a strong name (see
Sn.exe
).-
/nologo
Suppresses display of the banner and copyright messages.
-
/regfile[
:file
]
Generates a
.reg
file that you can use to add the assembly to the registry. This option does not change the registry; you need to double-click on the generated.reg
file to add the assembly to the registry. You cannot use this option with/unregister
or/tlb
.-
/registered
Refers only to type libraries that are already registered.
-
/silent
Suppresses display of success messages.
-
/tlb[
:file
]
Generates a type library (
.tlb
).-
/unregister
Unregisters the assembly.
-
/verbose
Displays verbose output.
