/ALLOWBIND (Prevent DLL binding)

Set a flag to disallow DLL binding.

Syntax

/ALLOWBIND[:NO]

Remarks

The /ALLOWBIND:NO linker option sets a bit in a DLL's header that indicates to Bind.exe that the image can't be bound. You may not want a DLL to be bound if it's been digitally signed (binding invalidates the signature).

You can edit an existing DLL for /ALLOWBIND functionality with the /ALLOWBIND option of the EDITBIN utility.

To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment

  2. Select the Configuration Properties > Linker > Command Line property page.

  3. Enter /ALLOWBIND:NO into Additional Options. Choose OK or Apply to apply the change.
