what is an assembly
See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...assemblies.asp

how does it related with portable executable in
.net architecture?


An assembly is made up of one or more modules (usually with the file
extension .dll, .exe or .netmodule), and the modules use the PE file
format.

what will happen when we create a windows project(myproj) in vb.net
having one form . now when i compile this project then what will
happen? will an assembly by name mypro is created or not? and will PE
be created if yes then what does it contain?

I have read that when .net project is complied , it is converted into
IL . PE will contain this IL and metadata. now I want to ask that if PE
contains IL and metadata then what does an assembly contain?
