Explain the role of assembly in the .Net Framework.- The .Net Framework keeps executable code or DLL in the form of assembly.
- The .Net Framework maintains multiple versions of the application in the system through assembly.
- The assemblies have MSIL code and manifest that contains metadata.
- The metadata contains version information of the assembly.
- Assemblies are the main building blocks.
- An assembly may be defined as a unit of deployment.
- A single assembly is a collection of types, and resources.
- The CLR does not understand any types that are outside assemblies.
- The CLR executes the code in assemblies as they contain MSIL code.
- They define type, version and security boundaries.
- Assemblies in .Net are a solution to the DLL hell problem as one can use different versions of same assembly in different applications at the same time.
- To make a shared assembly, we need to register it with GAC whereas private assemblies reside in the application directory.
