shared assemblies - C# / C Sharp

Tony Johansson

Hello!

In directory c:\window\assem bly(GAC) can you find a lot of global assembly
names which is called
shared assemblies.

If I for example use ILDASM on a file called Accessibility which is a dll
that exist in the c:\window\assem bly(GAC) nothing happen why?

You can use ILDASM on any private assembly but it seems to be impossible on
any shared assembly

Tony,

What do you mean nothing happens? If you go and look in the GAC (you
are looking at a virtual view through a shell extension actually), it should
be there. Note, all assemblies in GAC need to be strong-named.

Hello!
If I select a private assembly in ILDASM I get a lot of information listed
but if I select a shared assembly located at c:\window\assem bly(GAC) I
get nothing listed.
So you mean this is normal not seeing anything when using ILDASM on any
shared assembly located in the GAC.

Now to my second question:
If I create a shared assembly from a private assembly and then use
properties
on this it shows for example the
codeBase:file:///C:/TEST_DLL/ClassLibrary3/bin/Release/classlibrary3.d ll
but If I for example use properties on the Accessibility located in the
GAC this codeBase shows nothing why?
I mean the path to the actual Accessibility.d ll should be displayed in the
codeBase when using the properties.

Shared DLLs from Compact Framework drag unneccessary DLLs

I have an application which runs on both CE.NET and the full framework.

question on shared assemblies

by: Tim Kohler | last post by:

I'm having a problem with shared assemblies > 2^16 bytes in size. My assembly is in a solution along with a console app that references the assembly. The app is set up to reference the assembly (the reference path is pointed to the assemblies output directory). When I do a build, the assembly is failing to build because the .dll is loaded. I'm getting the following output from the build: The file 'Test_Library.dll' cannot be copied...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
