Extract / How to Get DLL from assembly folder or GAC or Global Assembly Cache

Some times we might have got typical question around how to get the particular dll from assembly folder. Because when you open that assembly folder it doesn't allow you to do normal operation as in windows explorer.

Solution:

  •  Click on start button
  • Select RUN
  • Enter the following path to the directory 
                  C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL














  • An window will get open.All the folders you see in that window are dlls . So select the required dll folder and open it by double click on that. Inside that one more folder will be there. Within that folder you can get your dll. Simply right click on that and copy . Paste it in required file system
















Hope this may help some one during site upgrade

Thanks

Programmatically read the value from web.config file

Here is a situation where you need to keep a key value pair element in the web.config file and read them during the run time. I suggest, better keep key /value pair under <appSettings> element and read it programmatically . <appSettings>   <add key=" LicenseKey " value=" 987jKouterhsk " /> </appSettings> Assume , you have added a license key as above in the web.config file. You need the license key during run time. You can access the license key class named "ConfigurationManager". write a property  called getLicenseKey and return the corresponding license key. public string GetLicenseKey {    get{   return  ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[" LicenseKey "]; } } Now the property GetLicenseKey will have the value 987jKouterhsk. Use this value as per your requirement. -Cheers Pradeepa Achar
