C# and the .NET Framework: The C++ Perspective

Single File Assembly

Although you might not have been aware, all the samples provided thus far in this book are considered single file assemblies. Remember that an assembly can be either a DLL or an EXE. This, of course, tends to make the concept of an assembly a little hard to grasp. But none the less, a single file assembly is the result of some compilation of source code, and/or resources that result in either a DLL or an EXE.
