They are held in the assemblies that your project references - they aren't files, they are namespaces which are inside .NET DLL and EXE files that are added to your project automatically when it is created.

Where do these DLLs and exe reside

OriginalGriff 11-Feb-21 5:24am

They are all stored in the GAC at %WINDIR%\assembly
The actual dlls can be found in subfolders of the GAC, GAC_32, and GAC_MSIL folders, dependent on their version.
But leave them alone, or loads of things in your system will stop working! :laugh:

Gac 32 or gac 64 or gac_msilwhats the difference
Suppose system does not reside in system.data which is in gac32 and gac64 but system.data is present in gac 32and 64 is there any difference between system.data of gac32 and that of gac64
