What are assemblies? Describe the types of assemblies.
Assembly is a compiled output of program which are used for easy deployment of
an application. They are executables in the form of exe or dll. It also is a
collection of resources that were used while building the application and is
responsible for all the logical functioning.
Types of assemblies:
a. Private Assemblies: are accessible by a single application. They reside
within the application folder and are unique by name. They can be directly used
by copying and pasting them to the bin folder.
b. Shared Assemblies: are shared between multiple applications to ensure
reusability. They are placed in GAC.
c. Satellite Assemblies: are the assemblies to provide the support for multiple
languages based on different cultures. These are kept in different modules
based on the different categories available.
