shared assemblies

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

In directory c:\window\assembly(GAC) can you find a lot of global assembly
names which is called
shared assemblies.

If I for example use ILDASM on a file called Accessibility which is a dll
that exist in the c:\window\assembly(GAC) nothing happen why?

You can use ILDASM on any private assembly but it seems to be impossible on
any shared assembly

Tony,

What do you mean nothing happens? If you go and look in the GAC (you
are looking at a virtual view through a shell extension actually), it should
be there. Note, all assemblies in GAC need to be strong-named.

Hello!


If I select a private assembly in ILDASM I get a lot of information listed
but if I select a shared assembly located at c:\window\assembly(GAC) I
get nothing listed.
So you mean this is normal not seeing anything when using ILDASM on any
shared assembly located in the GAC.

Now to my second question:
If I create a shared assembly from a private assembly and then use
properties
on this it shows for example the
codeBase:file:///C:/TEST_DLL/ClassLibrary3/bin/Release/classlibrary3.dll
but If I for example use properties on the Accessibility located in the
GAC this codeBase shows nothing why?
I mean the path to the actual Accessibility.dll should be displayed in the
codeBase when using the properties.
