Chapter 8. Creating and Managing .NET Components and Assemblies

Terms you'll need to understand:

• Assembly

• Custom control

• Global assembly cache (GAC)

• Resource-only assembly

• Satellite assembly

• User control

Techniques you'll need to master:

• Knowing how to create and use a user control

• Knowing how to create and use a custom control

• Understanding the concept of assemblies

• Creating and implementing a resource-only assembly

This chapter discusses several types of components supported by .NET. I first discuss Web user controls and Web custom controls, which provide two reuse models for ASP.NET applications. Finally, I discuss assemblies, which can be used to package components for security, deployment, and versioning.
