Creating And Using Shared Assembly. First we see what is private assembly By default every assembly is a private assembly. If we add a reference to a private assembly to any project, a copy of the assembly is given to the project. So each project maintains a private copy of the assembly such as shown below Shared Assembly A shared assembly is an assembly that resides in a centralized location known as the GAC Global Assembly Cache and that provides resources to multiple applications. If an assembly is shared then multiple copies will mot be created even when used by multiple applications. The GAC folder is under the Windows folder. GAC folder. We can find all base class libraries under GAC. We can only get a strong named assembly into the GAC. GAC contains multiple assemblies and it is identified by PUBLIC KEY TOKEN. How to generate a public key token We have a tool named strong name utility to do this, which is a command line tool and should be used from a command prompt as following. Sn k lt file name E. The above atatement generates a key value and writes it into key. We can use sn or snk for the extension of key files. Creating A shared assembly. Step 1 Generate a key file. Open a VS command prompt. Go into your folder and generate a key file as lt drive lt folder sn k key. Step 2 create a project and associate a key file to it before compilation so that the generated assembly will be strong named. Open a new project of type class library and name it s. Assembly under class. Public string sayhelloReturn hello from shared assembly To associate a key file we generated with the project, open the project properties and select the signing tab on the LHS which displays a Check. Box as sign the assembly select it that displays Combo. Box below it from it select browse and select key.
