Is it posssible to get something out of the GAC to another folder?
Let's say you put an assembly into the GAC but you deleted the source - by
accident no less -.

Any ideas?
Thanks

The assembly would be stored in this folder <windows
dir>\assembly\GAC\<Assembly Name>\Version_PublicKeyToken.
You can get that using copy command from the command prompt. From explorer,
not sure if that is possible.

Yup, I used the command prompt to copy it out after being unsuccessful
trying to use explorer.
Kinda makes you wonder why they didn't include that functionality?

Thanks though for your response.
