GAC Question
Is there a way to use one component to add multiple dll's to the GAC? I read in one thread that you have to create a component for each addition into the GAC. I really hope that there is a way to add multiple files to the GAC! Who is in the know?

If you place multiple DLLs within one component you will be in violation of the Best practices. each Portable Executable (exe,dll, etc ) should be placed in it's own component with that one file as the key file for the component.
I have had problems in the past when I have violated this rule when it came time to patch the application. Since not all DLLs were seperated like they should have been the patch did nto always apply correctly.
just a friendly caution.
