# Properties

### **1. Purpose**  
This module defines the `IConnection` assembly, a foundational .NET component intended to encapsulate connection-related abstractions for the broader system. Based on the assembly title and GUID, it serves as a shared contract layer—likely providing interfaces and possibly base types—for database, network, or service connections used across dependent modules. Its existence suggests a design goal of decoupling connection logic from implementation details, enabling testability and interchangeability of connection providers.

---

### **2. Public Interface**  
**No public types (classes, interfaces, structs, or enums) are defined in this file.**  
The file `AssemblyInfo.cs` contains only assembly-level metadata attributes (e.g., version, GUID, COM visibility). It does not declare any public APIs, interfaces, or types. The actual `IConnection` interface (implied by the assembly name) must reside in other source files not provided here.

---

### **3. Invariants**  
- **Assembly Identity**: The assembly is uniquely identified by GUID `c8394d57-92d3-4ee1-b2f3-f8fabce0d487`.  
- **Versioning**: Version is strictly `1.06.0081` (both `AssemblyVersion` and `AssemblyFileVersion`).  
- **COM Visibility**: Types in this assembly are **not** visible to COM (`ComVisible(false)`), unless explicitly overridden on individual types.  
- **No Runtime Behavior**: This file contributes no executable logic or state; it only defines metadata.  

---

### **4. Dependencies**  
- **Dependencies**:  
  - `System.Reflection`  
  - `System.Runtime.CompilerServices`  
  - `System.Runtime.InteropServices`  
  These are standard .NET Framework namespaces; no external or proprietary dependencies are declared.  

- **Dependents**:  
  - Any assembly referencing `IConnection` (e.g., database clients, service adapters) depends on this assembly for its contract types (e.g., `IConnection` interface), though those types are not defined here.  
  - The assembly’s GUID and version suggest it may be consumed by COM-aware components or build systems expecting strong-named or versioned contracts, but no explicit references are visible in this file.

---

### **5. Gotchas**  
- **Misleading Name**: The assembly is named `IConnection`, but this file contains no `IConnection` interface—developers may incorrectly assume the interface is defined here.  
- **Version Format**: The version `1.06.0081` uses a non-standard format (likely `Major.Minor.BuildRevision`), which may cause confusion during version comparison or binding.  
- **COM Interop**: While `ComVisible(false)` is set, if this assembly is referenced by COM clients, *any* types defined elsewhere in the assembly must explicitly opt in to COM visibility (e.g., via `[ComVisible(true)]`), or they will remain inaccessible.  
- **No Public API Surface**: This file alone provides no actionable API documentation; developers must inspect other files in the `DTS.Common.IConnection` project to understand the actual contract.  

None identified beyond the above.
