GAC stands for Global Assembly Cache. GAC is the place where shared assemblies get stored in a system.In order to install an assembly to GAC one needs to use the command : gacutil.exe i Assembly name . However before doing that we need to make sure that the assembly is a strong named assembly.To sign an assembly with a strong name, you must have a public/private key pair. This public and private cryptographic key pair is used during compilation to create a strong-named assembly.We need to use: sn –k in the command prompt and then provide the public/private key pair file to the AssemblyInfo file of the dll.For dot net version 2.0 & 3.5 the location for GAC is : C:\Windows\assemblyFor dotnet version 4.0 and above the location for GAC is :C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly
