.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / April 2007Add managed assemblies to GAC programmatically?
Let's pretend I really really really don't like ClickOnce and I want to implement my own updating process. Let's also say that I want the update process to be able to add new assemblies to the GAC. Since gacutil.exe no longer comes with the .NET framework by default, I can't simply shell out to it, so I was wondering if there is a way to add assemblies to the GAC via managed code. Please note that I'm not talking about registering an assembly with COM or COM+. I know there are things out there like the RegistrationServices class and the System.EnterpriseServices namespace, but all the (admittedly few) things I've read about them suggest that they're oriented towards COM/COM+. Hello Jeff, use GAC API, which is not documented http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317540 --- WBR, Michael Nemtsev [.NET/C# MVP].

Would I still be able to use it from a C# program? The sample code is C++. >> use GAC API, which is not documented >> http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317540 >> > Thanks.
