difference between shared and private assembly?

Hi,

Shared assemblies as a name suggest can be shared among the applications. Lets say you have some business logic which is common for other applications , so you will place this assembly in GAC(Global Assembly Cache) to be shared by others.

Private assemblies are specific to a single application.

hope it helps.

This assembly for only single application means that assembly will not be appear for another application

Example: As adding Any dll to u r bin folder

To add a private assembly, from the solution Explorer
----Right click on u r website and select Add refernece next we have to browse and select dll
