To differentiate between machine architecture, Microsoft has introduced a new attribute named processorArchitecture in the assembly name. It can have the following values
- MSIL
- x86
- IA64
- AMD64
The assemblies with processorArchitecture values as MSIL are platform independent.
The assemblies that have values for processorArchitecture as x86, IAS64 and AMD64 are platform dependent.
