Hi,

I have few ASP.NET projects that share some common libraries. Is it recommended to install them to GAC? Any downsize?

Thank you

We've gone away from placing DLLs in the GAC on web servers and just place them within the bin\ directory instead.  The reason for this being that within our shop, the SF DLLs change quite a few times before the version number is incremented, causing problems with websites that rely on the same version of the DLL but technically different DLLs.  However, since your version numbers will be changing, on the SF DLLs, you can place them in the GAC, but you may wish to place your own DLLs in the bin\ folder so that you do not have to upgrade all of your websites at once.
