I'm still new to .net and been trying to understand Assemblies alot more.

So I've been doing some reading and was wondering what exactly is the purpose of creating a "Single File Assembly" that has an .exe extension!

IS it simular to ActiveX components with the .exe extension?

Single File Assembly = normal application or library, in fact, VS creates only Single File Assemblies. Multi File Assemblies are used for combining multilple .NET languages in one assembly or for delayed downloading of an assembly.

 

For the .NET equivalent of ActiveX server apps, look up "remoting".

Well I was wanting to know why would you need a single file assembly with the .exe extension (" myAssembly.exe" ) ??

 

I knew the latter of what you spoke! Thank you for your time though!

As opposed to what? 99.99% of all assemblies are single file assemblies; whether it's as exe or dll depends on whether you're writing an application or a object library.
