Summary

Shared assemblies confer a number of benefits on the programmer:

  • A single copy of an assembly stored in the GAC can be used by multiple applications. Each application doesn’t require a local copy of the assembly.

  • The contents of shared assemblies can’t be maliciously altered. The CLR checks the contents of the assembly files against the signature and will generate an error if a change has occurred.

Shared assemblies installed in the GAC are contained in a single location. Administering shared assemblies is a simple task, and system managers can easily inspect the contents of the GAC.
