Steps to copy DLL’s from the GAC:
In many scenarios if you want to copy the DLL’s in .net application from the GAC, you need to run couple of commands and copy the desired DLL’s from the GAC folder, the below steps would give you insight of how to copy the DLL’s from the GAC folder.
We can view the GAC through C:\Windows\assembly folder and we cannot copy the DLL’s, instead we can only uninstall the DLL.

To view and copy the available DLL’s follow these steps,

.Net has a DLL file Shfusion.dll which is an Assembly Cache Viewer, which is located in the following path.
· C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\shfusion.dll

First you need to uninstall the Shfusion.dll to copy the DLL from the GAC folder

Uninstall the DLL using the following command in the run dialog box.
o regsvr32 -u C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\shfusion.dll
Type assembly in the Run Command to see the folder view of the GAC, Copy the DLL you want.

Installing the Shfusion.dll and to get it back to the original state.
· Install the DLL using the following command in the RUN dialog box
o regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\shfusion.dll

CSS !important Keyword
"!important" keyword gives the given selector higher precedence than its predecessor, meaning it overrides the last styles defined for the class.
Example:
.CssTextboxWidth
{
width:30px!important;
}

Removing Duplicates from the LIST:

static List RemoveDuplicates(IEnumerable inputList)
{
var finalList = new List();
foreach (CampaignMonthYear currValue in inputList)
{
if (!Contains(finalList, currValue.MonthYear))
{
finalList.Add(currValue);
}
}
return finalList;
}
static bool Contains(IEnumerable list, string comparedValue)
{
foreach (CampaignMonthYear listValue in list)
{
if (listValue.MonthYear == comparedValue)
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
