Problem:

.NET assemblies that are used by a COBOL application can be deployed.

Resolution:

There are different ways to deploy a .NET assembly:

• The assemblies can be located in the same directory where runtime is stored or listed in the local machine GAC (Global Assembly Cache).
• The assemblies can be stored in a personal directory, declaring its path in the FILE-PATH property of CREATE and DISPLAY statements. For example:

             create "@PasGenProx"
                  namespace is "PasGenProxNS"
                  class-name is "PasswordGeneratorService"
                  file-path is "PasGenPath.xml"
                  handle in hPassGenrator

  The file declared in the FILE-PATH, PasGenPath.xml, contains these lines:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
  <FILESPEC>
  <Assembly>PasGenProx</Assembly>
  <Module>PasGenProx.dll</Module>
  <StrongName />
  <Version />
  <Culture>neutral</Culture>
  <FilePath>C:\Documents and Settings\MyUser\My Documents\MyDirectory\PasGenProx.dll</FilePath>
  </FILESPEC>

The NetDefGen tool creates DLL files used by runtime to handle events generated by .NET assemblies.
