Global Assembly Cache(GAC) :
- GAC stands for Global Assembly Cache and contains strong named assemblies.
- Assembly in the GAC can be shared by all assemblies without having to copy the assembly locally.
- Basically, it is recommended to install an assembly into GAC, only when required and shared by applications, otherwise they should be kept private.
How to install an assembly into GAC :
There are two ways to install an assembly into GAC,
- Drag and Drop through Windows Explorer,
- Using Gacutil.exe(GAC Utility Tool)
To install an assembly using gacutil, use the following command:
gacutil -i C:\DemoProject\Demo.dll
Above command installs Demo.dll into the GAC.
To uninstall an assembly from GAC, use the following command:
gacutil -u DemoLibrary
