Hi.
I am confused with the concept of assemblies.
A single WinForm application has an assembly file too? Where is it located and what is its purpose?
Many thanks

An assembly is just a generic term for the compiled file..an assembly can be a dll, exe, whatever.
As far as i can tell an assembly is similar to a java manifest. Assemblies get pretty in-depth but the the puprose of them
is the following. Deployment, Version Control, Security, Type Grouping, Code Reuse.
As far as I can tell assemblies along with namespaces are Microsofts next phase for COM development.
