hi
i have created an assembly which is an exe in c#
and added it to the GAC, after assigning it a strong name
i want to access this exe in another exe is that possible.
i tried to reference it thru another exe and it gave me an error stating
that i can only reference a dll not an exe

then how am i supposed to use this assembly exe in another exe or what is
the use of having an assembly exe
thanx
 
Assemblies are self-describing units and contain info for the Runtime to
execute them in the current and correct context. Because they describe
themselves you can run multiple versions of the same application. If you
are trying to run an app from another app, then of course you need to
set publisher policies etc. But, if you are looking for how to do it, i
suggest you look into the ProcessInfo and other related environment
classes.

with regards,
