Global assembly cache APIs are obsolete (.NET Core and .NET 5.0)

Question

.NET Core and .NET 5 and later versions eliminate the concept of the global assembly cache (GAC) that was present in .NET Framework.

In my .NET 5 application I want to make my local dependent class libraries available RUNTIME. Can anyone please put a suggestion on this. Thank you.

Answer 1

I believe you need to use Runtime package store.

Starting with .NET Core 2.0, it's possible to package and deploy apps against a known set of packages that exist in the target environment. The benefits are faster deployments, lower disk space usage, and improved startup performance in some cases.

Hope this helps.
