Difference between classes and assemblies

[Keith Tang]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what the difference between classes and
assemblies are in .NET. Is an assembly a .DLL in the COM
sense? Or are they uncomparable? And is a class an object
in .NET? Someone please clarify this up for me. Thanks!

Assembly contains one or more classes and is usually compiled into a DLL.
Object is an instance of a class.
