How to register a .Net assembly into GAC in a development environment

This article focuses on ways to register .Net assembly into GAC in a development / build environment and NOT applicable for deployment hence should NOT be bundled with the installer.
1. Using Gobal Assembly Cache Tool (gacutil.exe)

• gacutil allows you to view and manipulate Global Assembly Cache.
• GACUTIL doesn't come with the .NET Runtime, but with the .NET SDK - also a free download, but not part of the basic redistributable. So it should NOT be used for deployment.
• Regiser -> Use the property variable to invoke gacutil.exe
  Syntax - gacutil.exe -i
• UnRegister -> Use the property variable to invoke gacutil.exe
  Syntax - gacutil -u

2. You can also install your assembly into GAC, just by copy it into C:\WINDOWS\Assembly directory in explorer.
3. You can also use System.EnterpriseServices.Internal.Publish.GacInstall to register assembly into GAC.
