What is gac in .net?..

Answer / Dhara Singh Meena

Global Assembly Cache (GAC) in .NET is a special area of the computer's file system where assemblies (DLL files) are stored for use by multiple applications. The Global Assembly Cache ensures that all applications on a machine have access to the same version of an assembly.nnWhen an application requires an assembly, it first checks the GAC to see if the assembly is present. If the assembly is found, it uses that version; otherwise, it looks for the assembly in the application's bin directory.
