What are the different types of assembly?

There are two types of assembly: -
Private: - A private assembly is normally used by a single application, and is stored in the application’s directory, or a sub – directory beneath.
Shared: - A shared assembly is normally stored in the global assembly catch, which is a repository of assemblies maintained by the .NET runtime. Shared assemblies are usually libraries if code which many applications will find useful, e.g. Crystal report classes which will be used by all application for Reports.
