Question

What is the metadata i.e. present in the assembly? why we are going to maintain that metadata in our assembly?

Shweta Lodha · Answer

Adding more on top of Anupam Singh The .NET Framework lets you declare specific kinds of metadata called attributes in your compiled file. Attributes can be found throughout the .NET Framework and are used to control in more detail how your program behaves at run time. Additionally you can emit your own custom metadata into .NET Framework files through user-defined custom attributes. For more information see Extending Metadata Using Attributes Source: MSDN
