Explain the role of assemblies in .NET.

Assemblies are main building blocks. An assembly maybe 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 where as private assemblies reside in applications directory.
