If you look in the same physical directory as the assembly (c:\windows\assembly\GAC\xxxx) there you will see a file called __assemblyinfo__.ini. If you take a look in this file (its in ini file format unsurprisingly) you will see a URL value which is the directory from which the assembly was GAC'd

 (I'll have a think about the Biztalk side of things)

 Hi, Phil,
 
 Try to right click "System.Messaging 1.0.5000.0" and the codebase should be
 file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322/System.Messaging.dll
 or try to use GACUTIL to gac one of your own strong named dll and then right
 click that assembly there you should be able to see the codebase.
 
 My question is how/where does the shfusion gets that information? It must be
 stored somewhere because when you GAC an assembly using gacutil you passed
 the assembly path and that path will be shown as codebase. How can I
 programatically get it? - GAC viewer can get that info so it should be
 available somewhere.
