Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, article of manufacture, and computer readable storage medium provides the ability to dynamically bind a native assembly from a managed assembly. A managed assembly (e.g., a dynamically linked library (DLL)) is obtained. In the managed assembly, native application program interface entry points are identified. For each of the entry points, intended platform(s) and associated correct native assembly(ies) are specified in the managed assembly. The managed assembly is deployed onto a computer. For example, the single collection of managed and native assemblies can be deployed to all targeted computers, which consist of varying platform environments. During runtime execution, the executing platform of the application is determined. Based on the executing platform, an intended platform is selected and the entry points are bound to the correct native assembly.
