Syntax
public bool IsAssemblyInGac(string assemblyFile)Remarks
To determine whether the specified assembly is installed in the
Global Assembly Cache, the assembly is loaded into a separate
System.AppDomain.
If the family of the current runtime framework does not match the
family of the current target framework, this method will return
false for all assemblies as there's no way to
determine whether a given assembly is in the Global Assembly Cache
for another framework family than the family of the current runtime
framework.
