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

[Solution] :How to not serialize the __type property on JSON object

While working on ajax- webservice , most of the time we prefer return value from web service method should be in JSON format . If we expect a web service method to return the value as JSON object then it will display few information about the source code through the __type property. Also this property is additional load for response. We ideally need to avoid this property Have a look at the below image in which it is returning JSON object which has my custom properties along with __type property. Here i have used burp suite penetration testing tool to test the loophole in our software. Through fiddler i have got the information about request /response  and wanted to hide error message which gets generated from exception. Usually stack trace may allow hackers to  retrieve error message which  contains code related information by using which hacker can easily find the loophole to hack the function.So when  exception arises hacker should not be...
