ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool
ASPNET_REGIIS [Options]
When multiple versions of the .NET Framework are executing side-by-side on a single computer, the ASP.NET ISAPI version mapped to an ASP.NET application determines which version of the common language runtime is used for the application. The ASP. NET IIS Registration tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe) allows an administrator or installation program to easily update the script maps for an ASP.NET application to point to the ASP.NET ISAPI version associated with the tool. The tool can also be used to display the Status of All Installed Versions of ASP. Net, Register The ASP.NET VERSION COUPLED WITH TOOL, CREATE Client-Script Director, and Perform Other Configuration Operations.

The Same Design-Time Support and Programming Methodology Applicable To Other Windows Forms Controls.
To host the ActiveX control, you must generate a wrapper control that derives from System.Windows.Forms.AxHost. This wrapper control contains an instance of the underlying ActiveX control. It knows how to communicate with the ActiveX control, but it appears as a Windows Forms Control. This Generated Control Hosts The ActiveX Control and Exposes ITS Properties, Methods, And Events As Those of The Generated Control.code Access Security Policy Tool

Native image generator
NGen [options] [askMBLYNAME | AssemblyPath]
The Native Image Generator creates a native image from a managed assembly and installs it into the native image cache on the local computer. The native image cache is a reserved area of the global assembly cache. Once you create a native image for an assembly, the runtime automatically uses that native image each time it runs the assembly. You do not have to perform any additional procedures to cause the runtime to use a native image. Running Ngen.exe on an assembly allows the assembly to load and execute faster, because it RESTORES CODE AND DATA STRUCTURES from The Native Image Cache Rather Than Generating Them Dynamical.

The PEVerify tool helps developers who generate Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) (such as compiler writers, script engine developers, and so on) to determine whether their MSIL code and associated metadata meet type safety requirements. Some compilers generate verifiably type-safe code only if you avoid using certain language constructs. If, as a developer, you are using such a compiler, you may want to verify that you have not compromised the type safety of your code. In this situation, you can run the PEVerify tool on your files to check the MSIL and metadata.The Assembly Registration tool reads the metadata within an assembly and adds the necessary entries to the registry, which allows COM clients to create .NET Framework classes transparently. Once a class is registered, any COM client can use IT As Though The Class Were A COM COM COM COM COM CLASS. The class is registered online.
