Assembly dll name question

Hi y'all,

A simple one. How do I ascertain the file name of an assembly? For
instance, System.Windows.Forms is provided by '???.dll'. How do I find what
'???' is?

Thanx,
Bill

There is no required mapping between namespaces (like System.Windows.Forms)
and assembly names or filenames. That is why for a type name to be fully
qualified, it must include the assembly name in which it came from.
Generally speaking many of the frameworks assemblies use some or all of the
namespace as the assembly name. The help docs generally also include the
assembly that a particular class is in (but it's hidden pretty good).
