Dear Folks,

getting confused about the assemblies and DLLs. can any one of u help me to
get a clear distinction between assemblies and DLLs. whts the demarcation
line lying between the assemblies and DLLs

Theoretically, C# compiler can produce multi-file assemblies, that is
assemblies consisting of several physical DLLs. All internal types in such
assemblies are visible throughout the (logical) assembly, even if the client
code is physically residing in another DLL. But I never saw a multi-file
assembly and VS.NET can't produce them.
So, it won't be too much of the oversimplificat ion to say that Assembly ==
DLL | EXE.
HTH,
Alexander

Hi,
Assemblies are not LOGICAL DLLs but they are LOGICAL COMPILED UNIT which may
contain .Net TYPEs (class, structure, enum anything), Metadata and much
more.
An single file assemblies may have a single DLL or EXE but multi-file
assemblies may have multiple DLLs and other files in one assembly.

A DLL (or EXE) is a unit of physically deployable code.
An assembly is an abstract concept. There is not necessarily a 1-to-1
relationship between an assembly and a physical item in your file system
(although most assemblies ARE just a single file in your file system).
It is a grouping of modules that should be treated with the same
security and version. You cannot create security policies, or version
information, for a unit smaller than an assembly.

I have several websites that use shared assemblies in the GAC. When I try

I determine what process/app is holding the reference to my...

Hi
It seems like none of the old posts get any follow up after a few messages,
whether or not something constructive comes out of them, so I'm left with no
choice but to repost an earlier question I asked. Below I've copy-pasted the
log of the last post. It's an interesting problem, and it might well be worth
reading if you are willing to be patient.
As always, I would appreciate your comments immensely

Hi everyone,
I have a question about .NET code sharing and reuse, and also about
application design best practices / guidelines.
Currently, we have many different .NET projects in source depot. Although
they are different, in some of them we share C# code by referencing source
files that are external (not part of the projects) on each project.
For instance, some of our projects have the typical “sources” file with:
