GAC Manager

Generally speaking, users should keep assembly dependencies private and avoid sharing unless they have to. In case an assembly is placed there, then users will not be able to replicate or install via the xcopy command to the main app's directory. In fact, the entire assembly needs to be moved there to perform more actions. Then again, there are times when developers explicitly need to place the assembly there, situation in which they may also want to be able to manage it.

GAG Manager is a specialized tool that allows users to access the Global Assembly Cache, a code cache that has the role of storing assemblies that need to be shared with other programs on the computer. In addition to the actual tool that lets users access the cache, it also features an API that grants full control over the manager itself. The latter is mostly designed for developers who would like to write their own apps that work with the manager.

The tool comes with a minimalistic interface designed as a list and that offers quick access to the GAC. All assemblies and code cache are displayed with name, version, public key token, culture and processor architecture, so they can be more easy to identify.
