Hi,
An Dll or exe itself an assembly. It is a deployment unit. and what you want to do the Dll?. Assembly can contain the versionning, Mainfest , meta data, etc., will be inside an assembly.
Do you want to make any assembly as Shared or public?
then you need to create a Strong name key and then you can add it in GAC and then you can use it from any application .
check the below site to create a shared or public assembly.

Hi,
Basically assembly are in two formats i.e.., dll or exe.
Assemblies are two types, private and shared assemblies.
So, you have created a dll file by default this is private assembly. If you want to make it as a shared that means that your assembly can used by other applications. In order to do that one you need to generate strong name, to generate a strong name use sn.exe.
To create shared assembly follow the steps below
1.In Microsoft VS Command prompt
sn -k key1.snk
2. After that go to AssemblyKeyInfo.cs or AssemblyKeyInfo.vb file and
add [AssemblyKeyFile("c:\key1.snk")] (in C#)
or <AssemblyKeyFile("C:\key1.snk")> (in VB.NET)
or you can go to project properties and do the same.
3. Then build your application.
4. In Microsft VS command prompt, enter gacutil -a <assemblyname>
it will directly copy to assembly folder(C:\windows\assembly)
