ALLOWBIND[:NO]
## Remarks /ALLOWBIND:NO sets a bit in a DLL's header that indicates to Bind.exe that the image is not allowed to be bound. You may not want a DLL to be bound if it has been digitally signed (binding invalidates the signature). You can edit an existing DLL for /ALLOWBIND functionality with the [/ALLOWBIND](../Topic/-ALLOWBIND.md) option of the EDITBIN utility. ### To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment 1. Open the project's **Property Pages** dialog box. For details, see [Working with Project Properties](../Topic/Working%20with%20Project%20Properties.md). 2. Expand **Configuration Properties**, **Linker**, and select **Command Line**. 3. Enter `/ALLOWBIND:NO` into **Additional Options**. ### To set this linker option programmatically - See [AdditionalOptions](assetId:///P:Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.VCCLCompilerTool.AdditionalOptions?qualifyHint=False&autoUpgrade=True). ## See Also [Setting Linker Options](../Topic/Setting%20Linker%20Options.md) [Linker Options](../Topic/Linker%20Options.md) [BindImage function](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/ms679278.aspx) [BindImageEx function](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/ms679279.aspx)
