----------------------------------------------------------- From: Nasha Message 1 in Discussion Hi All, Form this week I am planning to cover a few important .Net FrameWork Tools. Today I am starting with Assembly Cache Viewer. Have you ever wondered that why the contents of the assembly folder are shown in a different manner than the rest of other folders. How does the OS know that this folder contains is the global assembly cache. A dll called Shfusion.dll is located in the Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version> folder,where <version> is the highest build number of the .NET Framework installed on your machine. It is this dll which causes the contents of the assembly folder to appear differently than the contents of normal Windows folders. The names of the assemblies installed in the global assembly cache are displayed. Assembly Cache Viewer or Shfusion.dll is an Windows shell extension which allows you to view and manipulate GAC contents. In addition the tool displays details about each assembly's type, version, culture, and public key token. You can also define the cache settings for this folder go to Tools --> Cache Settings. This dialog will show you the File System type i.e. NTFS in case of WinNT, Used space, Cache space,Free space and the total capacity. One can also set the storage limits for the assembly folder (check out the download limit select box on the dailog). To register the assemblies in GAC, the assemblies should be strong named. You can register them using gacutil.exe or just drag and drop the assembly in the folder. If you guys would like me to cover any particular .NET FrameWork tool please let me know. -- Please post your queries and comments for my articles in the usergroup for the benefit of all. I hope this step from my end is helpful to all of us.
