kurf Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 (edited) 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! -will IS it simular to ActiveX components with the .exe extension? -will Edited April 1, 2005 by kurf Quote
IngisKahn Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 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".

kurf Posted April 2, 2005 Author Posted April 2, 2005 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! -will Quote
IngisKahn Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 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. Quote "Who is John Galt?"
