Use PowerShell to view contents of the Global Assembly Cache (GAC)

Question

Is there a way to use PowerShell to view the contents of the GAC?

Answer 1

You can do it just from a command prompt:

cd C:\Windows\assembly
dir

The GAC has a specific directory structure, and you should not go moving or deleting things in there using the command prompt - rather use windows explorer (gui) or gacutil (cli)
