Specifies a default base address when creating a DLL.

Syntax

-baseaddress:address

Arguments

Term Definition
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.

To set -baseaddress in the Visual Studio IDE
1. Have a project selected in Solution Explorer. On the Project menu, click Properties.
2. Click the Compile tab.
3. Click Advanced.
4. Modify the value in the DLL base address: box. Note: The DLL base address: box is read-only unless the target is a DLL.
