Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / guest
Each computer where the common language runtime is installed
has a machine-wide code cache called the global assembly
cache. The global assembly cache stores assemblies
specifically designated to be shared by several applications
on the computer. You should share assemblies by installing
them into the global assembly cache only when you need to.
Steps
- Create a strong name using sn.exe tool
eg: sn -k keyPair.snk
- with in AssemblyInfo.cs add the generated file name
eg: [assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("abc.snk")]
- recompile project, then install it to GAC by either
drag & drop it to assembly folder (C:\WINDOWS\assembly OR
C:\WINNT\assembly) (shfusion.dll tool)
or
gacutil -i abc.dll
