Specifies a default base address when creating a DLL.

/baseaddress:address

Arguments

address

Required. The base address for the DLL. This address must be specified as a hexadecimal number.

Remarks

The default base address for a DLL is set by the .NET Framework.

Be aware that the lower-order word in this address is rounded. For example, if you specify 0x11110001, it is rounded to 0x11110000.

To complete the signing process for a DLL, use the –R option of the Strong Naming tool (Sn.exe).

This option is ignored if the target is not a DLL.
