It could be an executable, a DLL (application library), or resource (such as picture, video, etc...)
In terms of .NET, a single web solution can have multiple projects and each project can be compiled into separate assemblies. Thus a single solution can have multiple assemblies.
When any .NET assembly is compiled, it may reference any other .NET assemblies, regardless of the language that the code was written in.
Assembly is a basic element of packaging in .NET. An assembly consists of IL code, metadata that describes what is in the assembly, and any other files or information that the application needs to run, such as graphics and sound files.Assemblies can be static or dynamic.Static assemblies can include .NET types (interfaces and classes), as well as required resources for the assembly(bitmaps, JPEG files, resource files, and so on). Static assemblies are stored on disk in PE files.Dynamic assemblies are one which run directly from memory and are not saved to disk before execution. They can be saved to disk after they have executed.Assemblies are the basic elements of packaging in .NET.

Don't need to register a .NET assembly in the Windows registry like you have to with COM components. Also, DLL hell is gone. Programmer can install assemblies into GAC (Global Assembly Cache) or a central repository for assemblies otherwise in application local directories.
Static Assemblies: - These assemblies are .NET binaries located on the disk as a file or set of files and directly loaded from there as and when CLR requests for them. Whenever one compiles the C# code, one gets STATIC assemblies. Dynamic Assemblies: - These assemblies are loaded directly from the Memory and not stored on the disk. However one can save them later to the disk. These binaries are created on the fly in the memory using SYSTEM.REFLECTION.EMIT namespace. Hence the name- dynamic.
