Answer: No,
For a dll to be copied in GAC Folder,
1)It must be a .NET dll.
2)It must be strong named. Strong Naming is done by attaching a key pair file wih the .dll
This generates the key pair file.
example: sn -k abc.snk
sn : strong naming
k: generate key pair file
abc.snk: name of the key pair file.
to attach the key pair with the .NET dll, either use command line or
Visual sTUDIO Option
For the Visual Studio Option, open the class library project.It contains the .NET dll
View->Solution Explorer->Properties->click Signing tab->enter the path of key pair
file->save and build.
To install the signed .dll in GAC
use this command
gacutil /i <path of the signed .dll>
the COM dll has to be attached/converted to a .NET dll before we can think of putting it in GAC.
