There are basically two methods in .Net to generate dynamic code through your program. One is to use CodeDom library while other is to use Reflection Emit library. The System.CodeDom library is used to generate the standard CLS (Common Language Specification) compliant code that can be emitted in any of .Net languages. On the other hand, the System.Reflection.Emit library is used to generate the MSIL (Micrsoft Intermediate Language) code. Dot Net Reflection Emit allows us to construct assemblies, modules, types at runtime and define code inside these types.

To keep the assembly in GAC, we need to follow the below steps
1. Create strong name for the project.
2. attach the strong name(snk file) to the project.
3. Build the project.
4. Execute the command in command prompt:  gacutil.exe -i shared.dll

Coming to satellite assembly: it is as assembly containing localized resources, which will modify core application. It contains only the resource files containing the strings of a particular language.


correct me if i am wrong.
