System.Runtime.CompilerServices.LoadHint Enumeration

Specifies the preferred default binding for a dependent assembly.

Syntax

public enum LoadHint

Remarks

Use this enumeration with the System.Runtime.CompilerServices.DependencyAttribute attribute and the System.Runtime.CompilerServices.DefaultDependencyAttribute attribute to specify the preferred default binding for a dependent assembly.

Note that the Default value directs the native generation service to consult the dependent assembly for its preferred default binding, which is specified using the System.Runtime.CompilerServices.DefaultDependencyAttribute attribute. Very few assemblies should need to specify a default value in this manner.
