To view a list of the assemblies in the global assembly cache, at the command prompt, type the following command: gacutil –l

In earlier versions of the .NET Framework, the Shfusion.dll Windows shell extension enabled you to view the global assembly cache in Windows Explorer. Beginning with the .NET Framework version 4, Shfusion.dll is obsolete.

Any visual tool view the contents of the global assembly cache in .NET 4.0 - CLR 4.0 ? I would like viewer tool and not execute commandline (gacutil -l).

UPDATE:

GACView by Nirsoft.net does not support .NET 4.0 (CLR 4.0)

  • This is a shopping question, off topic at SE sites. Make it a programming question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2611108/register-a-dll-into-the-gac-but-then-it-doesnt-show-up-in-the-assembly-window/2611435#2611435 – Hans Passant Dec 15 '11 at 13:44
  • Can I move another site in SE ? which better forum for questions about tools in C# .NET ? – Kiquenet Dec 16 '11 at 07:59

    @Hans Passant: I disagree, I am a developer and searcht for the OP's topic right here at SO, expecting to get help. This question belongs to SO IMHO. – Marcel Apr 23 '12 at 07:53

  • @Kiquenet if you point GACView to the folder architecture specific folder (e.g. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32) it does show the assemblies although it does not display all the information. Not a perfect solution for sure, but it is something :). – Marc Dec 15 '11 at 14:49
