what is a strong name?..

Answer / anonymous

A shared Assembly is one that is used by multiple
applications. A shared Assembly must have a name that is
globally unique. .Net framework creates this unique name
through a technique called STRONG NAMES.
A combination of Assembly name(the name of your
assembly ie .dll) + version number + culture locale + public
key token(a 16digit number) makes up a strong name.

Advantages of creating a strong name is :

1) Two dll with same name can be installed on the same
machine(as strong names would be different)
2)Different versions can be worked on the same side by side.

assembiles are two types
1.public assembly 2.private assembly
public assembly-:when ever we want our assembly to be used
globally through out the application.Then we have to keep
our assembly in global assembly cache.when ever we kept our
assembly in global assembly cache we have to provide strong
name for that assembly

assembly in global assembly cache
