Re: what is DLL Hell and how it is solved in .NET?

Answer Dll Hell refers to a set of problems 5 Arjun Jaiswal
# 4 caused when multiple
applications attempt to share a common
component like a
dynamic link library (DLL). The reason for
this issue was
that the version information about the
different components
of an application was not recorded by the
system.

.Net Framework provides operating systems

with a Global
Assembly Cache. This Cache is a repository
for all the .Net
components that are shared globally on a
particular
machine. When a .Net component is
installed onto the
machine, the Global Assembly Cache looks
at its version,
its public key, and its language
information and creates a
strong name for the component. The
component is then
registered in the repository and indexed
by its strong
name, so there is no confusion between
different versions
of the same component, or DLL.

Re: what is DLL Hell and how it is solved in .NET?

Answer DLL Hell :- This is a problem in loading a 0 Vimal Victor
# 6 specific dll
(class id, version number, path etc). For
example, if I
build test.dll v1.0.0.0 and deploying it
in c:\MyProg. My
application App1 and App2 are using the
methods in that
dll. And there is a requirement to change
something in App1
and I supposed to change test.dll also for
the same
requirement. Once I finished with all my
changes, I will be
deploying them in the appropriate
locations. Now, the older
dll will be overwritten. And my App2 will
look for test.dll
of older version and since it is not there
it will not
work. This is a scenario for dll hell
issue.

.NET and dll hell:- .NET has a provision

to specify whether
a 'Specific Version' to be loaded or not.
If you check with
any dll's propery window, that has a
property called
Specific Version. By default it will be
false for the dll's
created by users. It means whether the
specific version
alone has to be loaded for that project.
If that is false,
then te runtime will load any available
higher version of
dll for that project. Thus this issue has
been sorted out.

Re: what is DLL Hell and how it is solved in .NET?

Answer Over the history of Windows, the method of 0 Moinuddin
# 9 tracking of DLL
usage was changed by Microsoft several
times, as well as
the problem of rogue
installations that didn't play by the
rules--the result was
called "DLL HELL", and the
user was the victim.
Solving DLL hell is one thing that the
.NET Framework and
the CLR targeted. Under
the .NET Framework, you can now have
multiple versions of a
DLL running
concurrently. This allows developers to
ship a version that
works with their program
and not worry about stepping on another
program. The
way .NET does this is to
discontinue using the registry to tie DLLs
to appliction
and by the concept of assembly
