Do you need explanation about .net assemblies or assembly language

theLizard · Answer

Some are still confused between ASSEMBLY (Machine Code) and ASSEMBLIES in C#

srinivas · Answer

On the .NET Platform applications are divided into Assemblies and Modules. An Assembly contains the information required by the .NET runtime to find, load and execute applications on the .NET Platform. Let's take an analogy, when you are building a big application, the general practice is to build all the classes and methods used very often into a single executable (*.exe) file and rest of the required classes are put into Library Dll's. Similarly, on the .NET Platform, the important, basic and regularly used classes form a part of the main file which acts as an assembly file, while the rarely used classes can be put into modules. The logic behind the concept of assemblies and modules lies the fact that with the help of these you can separate out units of code based on their usage and importance, physically (in different files) and logically (in Assemblies and Modules).

I think some people are confused so lets clear this up, are you asking about assembly (low level machine code) or .net assemblies which have absolutely no comparisons with assembly. this is assembly (low level machine code) mov ebx, eax mov esi, 66 mov [edx+ebx*4+4], ecx mov [ebx], ah .Net Assemblies There are many types of files that are involved when building .NET assemblies: Source code resides in files with the file extension .cs. Managed modules are the compiled IL versions of the source code. The extension of the file that is built when making a module from source files is .net module. Assemblies are either DLLs or .exe files containing managed modules, resources, and metadata.

In .net Assemlies meaning is different not the Assembly language . Assemblies are the building blocks of .NET Framework applications; they form the fundamental unit of deployment, version control, reuse, activation scoping, and security permissions. An assembly is a collection of types and resources that are built to work together and form a logical unit of functionality. An assembly provides the common language runtime with the information it needs to be aware of type implementations. To the runtime, a type does not exist outside the context of an assembly. get more info from here about .net assemblies http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hk5f40ct%28VS.71%29.aspx

Assembly is a low-level programming language, the following is an example. Address Label Instruction (AT&T syntax) Object code .begin .org 2048 a_start .equ 3000 2048 ld length,% 2064 be done 00000010 10000000 00000000 00000110 2068 addcc %r1,-4,%r1 10000010 10000000 01111111 11111100 2072 addcc %r1,%r2,%r4 10001000 10000000 01000000 00000010 2076 ld %r4,%r5 11001010 00000001 00000000 00000000 2080 ba loop 00010000 10111111 11111111 11111011 2084 addcc %r3,%r5,%r3 10000110 10000000 11000000 00000101 2088 done: jmpl %r15+4,%r0 10000001 11000011 11100000 00000100 2092 length: 20 00000000 00000000 00000000 00010100 2096 address: a_start 00000000 00000000 00001011 10111000 .org a_start 3000 a: Another example ja label; //HLA ja label ;Gas/MASM/TASM Conditional jump if (unsigned) above.
