Re: what is Satellite Assemblies?
A satellite assembly is simply an assembly that accompanies your application normally for the purpose of providing resources.
For instance, if you write an application that can be used in 4 different languages, you could put the strings of these 4 languages in different files and compile them using Al.exe (see MSDN documentation) into assemblies for you. You appliation would then need references to these. These do nothing in themselves except provide the strings that your application uses and thus are satellite assemblies. For a more detailed explanation you can go to the MSDN documentation, there is lots of information there about the subject, so much so that I cannot cover in one reply.
Hope this helps.
