Core Assemblies
The best place to begin a discussion on assemblies is probably with those that provide the basic services to your applications. All .NET applications use the mscorlib.dll assembly. Among other things, this assembly houses all the basic .NET types, as well as the base Exception class, key attributes, and a few other important items.
Borland’s core assembly is Borland.Delphi.dll, which houses the Borland.Delphi.System unit namespace. Most of Delphi’s core types, described in the previous chapter, are implemented in this assembly.
