shared assemblies

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

I just want to check with you if .NET assemblies consist of only shared
assemblies ?
It must be shared assemblies because you never copies these assemblies to
the folder where your application is located.

Actually, you can copy referenced assemblies to the folder with your
application, and they will be loaded. You do not have to deploy them
to GAC (if that's what you mean by "shared"), and, in fact, more often
than not you shouldn't do that. It's also what VS does by default if
you reference a third-party assembly (the one which doesn't come
with .NET Framework), or when you reference another project in your
solution.

".Net assemblies"... you mean Base Class Library? If so, as they are
part of .Net runtime, they are shared.

I do not quite understand your question.
you can have assemblies in several locations. not just in your bin
folder. The framework goes to several location trynig to find your
assemblies before thowning an error.
one of the location it search is the starting folder of the app. so
you can be sure that if you put it there it will be loaded.
