    Unhappy Assembly files

    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.
