When
the components of an assembly is grouped in a single physical file,
it is known as Single-file assembly.
When
the components of an assembly is contained in several files, it is
known as Multifile assembly.
These files can be modules of compiled code (.netmodule), resources
(such as .bmp or .jpg files), or other files required by the
application. The files that make up a multifile assembly are not
physically linked by the file system. Rather, they are linked through
the assembly manifest and the CLR manages them as a unit.
Multifile
assembly is usually created when there is a requirement to combine
modules written in different languages and to optimize downloading an
application by putting seldom used types in a module that is
downloaded only when needed.
