# Documentation: DTS.Viewer.Test Assembly Info

## 1. Purpose
This source file provides assembly-level metadata configuration for the `DTS.Viewer.Test` project. It exists to define the identity, versioning, and COM visibility settings for the compiled test assembly. This file is typically auto-generated by the Visual Studio project template for .NET Framework projects and embeds manifest attributes into the output DLL.

## 2. Public Interface
This file does not contain public classes, methods, or functions. It strictly defines assembly-level attributes using C# preprocessor directives.

**Defined Attributes:**
*   **`AssemblyTitle`**: Set to `"DTS.Viewer.Test"`.
*   **`AssemblyDescription`**: Set to an empty string.
*   **`AssemblyConfiguration`**: Set to an empty string.
*   **`AssemblyCompany`**: Set to an empty string.
*   **`AssemblyProduct`**: Set to `"DTS.Viewer.Test"`.
*   **`AssemblyCopyright`**: Set to `"Copyright ©  2017"`.
*   **`AssemblyTrademark`**: Set to an empty string.
*   **`AssemblyCulture`**: Set to an empty string.
*   **`ComVisible`**: Set to `false`. Prevents types in this assembly from being visible to COM components.
*   **`Guid`**: Set to `"d9980374-0c0d-4a27-90eb-b5af17fb419e"`. Serves as the ID for the typelib if the project is exposed to COM.
*   **`AssemblyVersion`**: Set to `"1.0.0.0"`.
*   **`AssemblyFileVersion`**: Set to `"1.0.0.0"`.

## 3. Invariants
*   **COM Visibility:** The attribute `ComVisible(false)` ensures that all types within this assembly are not exposed to COM by default. To expose a specific type, that type must be explicitly marked with `ComVisible(true)`.
*   **Versioning:** Both the assembly version and file version are fixed at `1.0.0.0`. They will not auto-increment with builds unless the wildcard syntax (commented out in the source) is enabled or an external build process modifies the file.

## 4. Dependencies
*   **Internal Dependencies:**
    *   `System.Reflection`: Required for the assembly attribute classes.
    *   `System.Runtime.CompilerServices`: Required for assembly attribute support (though typically used for `InternalsVisibleTo`, it is imported here).
    *   `System.Runtime.InteropServices`: Required for the `ComVisible` and `Guid` attributes.
*   **External Dependencies:** None inferred from this file alone. This file is a configuration artifact for the build system.

## 5. Gotchas
*   **Legacy Project Structure:** The existence of an explicit `AssemblyInfo.cs` usually indicates a classic .NET Framework project structure (non-SDK style). Modern .NET Core/.NET 5+ projects often auto-generate this metadata, which can lead to build conflicts (CS0579 duplicate attribute errors) if this project is migrated to an SDK-style format without removing or disabling these explicit definitions.
*   **Empty Metadata:** Several fields (`AssemblyDescription`, `AssemblyCompany`) are empty strings. While not a bug, this results in minimal metadata embedded in the compiled DLL properties.
*   **Hardcoded Version:** The version numbers are hardcoded. If the build pipeline expects automatic versioning, this file will override it unless the build script explicitly rewrites these values.
