How do I know if I work with the PAC or not?

Question

Given a class library library that can be installed on the GAC (production) or not (development), I need to know if the executable build is from the GAC or not. How can I know this?

Answer 1

Have you tried checking the property Assembly.GlobalAssemblyCache?

bool loadedFromGac = this.GetType().Assembly.GlobalAssemblyCache;

... or:

bool loadedFromGac = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GlobalAssemblyCache;

Answer 2

Use the AssembyInfo class to find out the loaded assemblies for your application. The returned Assembly objects have a GlobalAssemblyCache property that indicates what you need.
