Explanation

Global Assembly Cache (Gacutil.exe) is a tool used to view and manipulate the contents of the global assembly cache. It allows developers to install or remove assemblies from the cache, and to display the contents of the cache. Following is the syntax for using Gacutil.exe: gacutil [options] [assemblyFile] where, assemblyFile specifies the name of the file containing an assembly manifest, and the term options specifies the options to be used. Following are the options that are commonly used with Gacutil.exe: Answer: C is incorrect. The Svcutil.exe tool stands for ServiceModel Metadata Utility Tool that is used to generate service model code from metadata documents and metadata documents from service model code. The Svcutil.exe tool can be found at the Windows SDK installation location, particularly at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin. Answer: A is incorrect. The Microsoft Intermediate Language Disassembler (ILDasm.exe) is a tool that comes with the Microsoft Intermediate Language Assembler (ILasm.exe). It allows users to view the internal types, underlying IL, metadata, and assembly manifest for a given managed binary. It operates only on Portable Executable (PE) files. Answer: B is incorrect. MSIL Assembler (Ilasm.exe) is a tool used to generate portable executable files from Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL). Running the resulting executable determines whether or not MSIL performs as expected.
