----------------------------------------------------------- From: LostWorld79 Message 7 in Discussion The native image cache is a reserved area of the global assembly cache (GAC). When you create a native image of an assembly, it will load and execute faster. When you create a native image of a common language runtime (CLR) assembly, the native image is cached on the local computer in a reserved area of the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). After a native image is created, the runtime automatically uses this native image every time it runs the assembly. The runtime reverts to just-in-time (JIT) compilation of an assembly when it cannot find a matching native image. When certain changes are made to a computer�s settings and environment, any native images previously created become invalid. The following changes cause native images to become invalid: Any patching or updating of the .NET Framework causes all native images to become invalid. Upgrading a computer�s CPU to a new processor family causes all native images to become invalid. Any change made to the version of the operating system causes the native images to become invalid. If an assembly is recompiled into Intermediate Language (IL), any native image that exists for this assembly becomes invalid. If any referenced assemblies are recompiled into IL, the native image for the assembly that references these assemblies becomes invalid. If machine security policy is changed so as to restrict previously granted permissions to an assembly, the native image for this assembly becomes invalid. These changes do not mean that an assembly will not run, but that the native image will not be loaded and the runtime will resort to JIT compilation. Regardless of the situations where a native image can become invalid, you may want to compile assemblies into native images during the installation of your application. To perform this operation, you need to create a number of custom actions, most of which will run ngen.exe with a particular command line. Ngen.exe is the native image generator that comes with the .NET Framework when it is installed. Refer to the MSDN Library for a complete discussion of this utility. NGen.exe (The Native Image Generator) can be used to create a native image from a managed assembly and installs it into the native image cache on the local computer.
