Multi-file Assemblies: What and How

Here's another potential use - a way to package unit tests so that they are part of the assembly (and can therefore call internal members), but can be removed from shipping code.

That's an interesting idea. However I'm pretty sure that tools like PEVerify.exe and GacUtil.exe that verify the assembly contents would complain about the missing file, and possibly prevent you from installing your assembly into the GAC or use partial trust scenarios.

In your post last year you mentioned why al.exe was not much better than cse.exe. Are you now saying that cse.exe is better in situations where one needs multi-language assemblies, incremental downloads, or linked resources? Thanks!

My point of the previous post was that csc.exe can do most of what al.exe is used for, and generally produce fewer files that need to be shipped.
