This enumeration represents the possible flags for an AssemblyName. AssemblyName.Flags can either be set to None or PublicKey. PublicKey specifies that the originator is fully given by the public key, rather than by a token. Retargetable indicates that the assembly can be retargeted at runtime to an assembly from a different publisher, meaning we can "alias" the assembly to a third-party assembly (that, implicitly, would have a different public key token than this one).

public enum AssemblyNameFlags {
   None = 0x00000000,
   PublicKey = 0x00000001,
   Retargetable = 0x00000100
}
