Abstract
Assemblies are a fundamental abstraction of the .NET infrastructure. Developing software based on .NET always implies working with assemblies. To use managed types defined outside of your project, you have to reference the assembly that defines the required types. The target of a build process is an assembly, too. In this chapter, you will learn how assemblies can be uniquely identified and how the runtime searches for an assembly.
