What is the difference between a private assembly and shared assembly? , .Net Framework FAQs -I

Message

   A private assembly is normally used by a single application, and is stored in the application's

directory, or a sub-directory beneath. A shared assembly is normally stored in the global assembly cache, which is a repository of assemblies maintained by the .NET runtime. Shared assemblies are usually libraries of

code which many applications will find useful, e.g. the .NET framework classes.

The runtime enforces versioning constraints only on shared assemblies, not on private assemblies.
