Question

Reviewing the web Repeater control in the Microsoft Reference Source there's an identifier for AssemblyRef as such: AssemblyRef.SystemDesign on line 22 however I cannot drill into it using the source viewer tool and there seems to be no using that would cause it to be recognized by the compiler.

Basically what is this identifier, why is it there and how is it used in program without breaking compilation?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It's an internal static class with no namespace.

The Reference Source site lists several copies of the file, although it doesn't show one under System.Web. However, all of the files appear to be empty.

The class contains a series of constants, so the compiled code won't include any reference to the class; it will just contain the value of the constant.

It's quite easy to see the content of the class using a decent decompiler. The .NET 4.5.1 version from System.Web contains:

using System;
