[Mono-dev] Re: Adding Custom Attributes to Assembly

[vijaya raghava mutharaju]

  Hi,

            I was thinking if the following code would do what I was asking
of

                 1)  AssemblyDefinition assembly1 =
AssemblyFactory.GetAssembly("MyAssembly.exe");
                      AssemblyDefinition assembly2 =

AssemblyFactory.GetAssembly("AnotherAssembly.exe");
                      foreach(.........)
                       {     if(type is  MyAttribute)
                             {  // Import MyAttribute into assembly2
                         }}
                2)  MyAttribute attribute = new MyAttribute("some
arguments");
                     But it still leaves the issue of how to assign a proper
parent(in my case a class in assembly2) to MyAttribute.

              Excuse me if the above code is completely off target. Iam new
to Cecil.

          Thank you.
