GAC

[Guest]

I have a website which calls web services on an application server.
My website and web service use a common core dll.
The core dll is currently installed in the gac.
Is that a good idea?
If my core DLL is signed, can it be installed anywhere on the computer?

Hi Arne,

Sharing an assembly for multiple applications is one use of the GAC.

If your assembly is singed then it's eligible to be installed in the GAC, otherwise you can simply xcopy it to the bin directory of
each application.
