Hello everyone,

I am learning to develop desktop applications using Windows Forms.

In my stand-alone application I am referring to assemblies that are installed in GAC. Now while deploying this application on client machines along with .NET framework I also have to carry these assemblies onto client machine. How to do this? Can anyone help me. . .

Solution 1

you need to put all those required dll to the bin folder of your solution.
when u add reference any reference to your solution first of all it check for that dll GAC if not available than in BIN. so on order to reference that dll in your client machine you need to copy that dll to your BIN folder of your application.

You need to install thse shared assemblies in the GAC.
This can be done by using Gacutil - How to install an assembly into the Global Assembly Cache in Visual C#[^].
E.g. gacutil -I "[DriveLetter]:\[PathToBinDirectoryInVSProject]\assembly.dll"
