Hi Ankur An assembly is a collection of files (dll's exe's) group of resources that help in creating a logical unit of functionality. It forms the basic building block for deployment reusability and security issues. It provides a CLR environment. It helps in maintaining security as it grants grant or denial of permissions. When an application starts only assemblies the application initially calls must be present. Assemblies can be either static or dynamic. Assemblies help in resolving versioning issues.
