An assembly is made up of one or more modules (usually with the file
extension .dll, .exe or .netmodule), and the modules use the PE file
format.

Re: assembly and portable executable

what will happen when we create a windows project(myproj) in vb.net
having one form . now when i compile this project then what will
happen? will an assembly by name mypro is created or not? and will PE
be created if yes then what does it contain?

I have read that when .net project is complied , it is converted into
IL . PE will contain this IL and metadata. now I want to ask that if PE
contains IL and metadata then what does an assembly contain?
