GAC related question
-
Friends, I am navigating inside GAC folder using command prompt i.e on my machine: c:\Windows\Assembly\GAC I have three versions of .NET installed in my machine. So i am expecting three different
System.dllfiles in the respective folders. But when im issuing *dir* command to look inside system directory, there is only one folder visible:Directory of C:\Windows\assembly\GAC\System

0 File(s) 0 bytes
3 Dir(s) 119,704,276,992 bytes freei.e version 1.0.5000.0 of
System.dllis there. My question is that where are the other versions of this dll and why their respective folders are not there ?Imtiaz

Hi, AFAIK the .NET system dll's are located elsewhere; I found System.dll in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 and others so I would say they either get added to the GAC virtually, or they are not in the GAC at all. :)

Ha, yeah, I just did a GACUTIL /L to list the contents. System, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 is the only entry for System.
