What is Assembly?

Hello Experts.

I have searched about Assembly on Google but didn't get any good stuff and couldn't get what exactly mean of Assembly.

Is anyone having good leaning stuff of Assembly or can explain for a learner :) 

Thanks in advance.

Hah... Maybe this is conincidence, but I've just posted a blog post on weblogs.asp.net about Embedding resources in project's Assembly

Every .NET project has its own Assembly.

I think the best would be to read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_assembly, otherwise there are a lot of things to be said for this subjects. Its too general :).

I have searched on google and what I got that Assembly is the actual .dll and .exe files. Assembly is the basic building blocks of ASP.NET.There are two types of assembly one is Private Assembly and second is Shared Assembly. Private Assembly can be used by only a single application and Shared Assembbly can be used by all applications located on the same server.

But there is also thing that I didn't understand "Assembly is the primary unit of deployment, security and version control in the .NET framework."

Could you explain me what is the meaning of security and version control in the .framework?

Thanks in advance.

Well, in .NET, the assembly is used by the .NET Common Language Runtime as the smallest unit for controlling security as well as version control in .NET application.

Well Thank You again Hajan for your great helpful replies:)
