I want to check Microsoft. Sharepoint. Library. dll in Sharepoint, but I found that this file is installed in GAC. How can I get this DLL and disassemble it for fun?
The GAC directory is in C: \ WINDOWS \ assembly, which cannot be copied or pasted directly. To get the file out, you need to use the command line.
If you use the command line, you will find that the GAC directory structure is different from the one displayed by Windows Explorer.
To get the file from GAC, run the following command:
C: \ windows \ Assembly \ gac_msil> xcopy *. * c: \ gacdlls \/S/R
The Directory of the specific assembly may be different. It may be GAC or gac_32. First find the file you want, and then you may need to copy it from the folder listed above.
Use this command to find the files you are interested in.
We copied it using this command.
Done.
