Assembly information containing names of the members of the assembly, returned as a NET.Assembly object.

Limitations

  • NET.addAssembly does not support assemblies generated by the MATLAB Compiler SDK™ product.

Tips

  • You do not need to call NET.addAssembly to access classes in the mscorlib.dll and system.dll assemblies. MATLAB dynamically loads these assemblies from the .NET class library the first time you type "NET." or "System.".

  • Refer to your .NET product documentation for the name of the assembly and its deployment type (global or private).
