Re: question about Assemblies

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Susan,

Technically an assembly is composed of modules (files) but most assemblies
have a single file. Also, an assembly can be also an .exe, not always a dll.
But for assemblies that are class libraries (.dll), yes, at conceptual level
they are like Win32 DLLs or ActiveX dlls.
