Basic .NET Framework : What is Manifest?

Assembly metadata is stored in Manifest.Manifest contains all the metadata needed to do the following things( See Figure Manifest View for more details) :
  • √ Version of assembly
  • √ Security identity
  • √ Scope of the assembly
  • √ resolve references to resources and classes.
  • √ The assembly manifest can be stored in either a PE file (an .exe or .dll) with Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) code or in a stand-alone PE file that
  • contains only assembly manifest information.
