about adding a assembly dll to the GAC

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

If I can add an assembly dll to the GAC by using gacutil -i
assembly-dll-file
is it then as an alternative possible to drag the assembly dll file to the
GAC folder ?

As far as I know both serve the same purpose.

Yes, both do the same thing programmatically. Note though that dragging an
assembly to the assembly folder DOES NOT call gacutil. Instead, they both
call the appropriate underlying programming interfaces...
