Assembly Linker (Al.exe)

  • Article

The Assembly Linker (Al.exe) is used to create assembly manifests and to install assemblies into the global assembly cache (GAC). Compilers and development environments might already provide these capabilities, so it is often not necessary to use this tool directly. The Assembly Linker is most useful to developers needing to create a single assembly from multiple component files, such as those that might be produced from mixed-language development.
