Net Docs - Assemblies Documentation

Introduction

This document provides an overview of the Assemblies, a fundamental component of .NET Core applications. Assemblies are compiled code that represents a single, reusable unit of functionality.

Key Concepts

Assemblies are built from smaller components, including code, data, and resources. They are the primary way to create and manage applications in .NET.

Assembly Components

Assemblies consist of several core components:

The Process

1. Compilation: The code is compiled into an intermediate assembly. 2. Linking: The assembly is linked with necessary libraries and dependencies. 3. Runtime Execution: The executable runs, providing access to the compiled code.

Importance

Assemblies are essential for creating robust, maintainable, and scalable applications. They provide a consistent and reliable way to build and deploy applications.
