// Enforce CLS compliance for all public types in this assembly.

If you now add a bit of code that falls outside the CLS specification (such as an exposed point

of unsigned data):

// Ulong types don't jibe with the CLS.

public class Winnebago

you are issued a compiler warning.

The AssemblyInfo.cs file

This file is a handy place to put attributes that are to be applied at the assembly level. You may

assembly-level metadata, much of which comes from the assembly-level attributes shown in

Table 16-4.
