..Net does "deal" with DLLs. You can load .Net DLLs/Assemblies
from a known/local directory, OR from the GAC*. For user-created
assemblies, I think it's much cleaner to load them NOT from the
GAC, and instead load them from "known" paths, such that you
can use two completely different versions of an assembly without
having to go through all the versioning compatability trouble and
re-testing. (My viewpoint is shaped from 4 years doing in-house
development of a complex top-10 e-commerce site. Other views
are certainly valid for other cases.)

Sqlite light would have to register the component in which case
it would be part of the .NET hirarcy. (Stored in the registry.)

If you use the GAC, yes. You are under no requirement/obligation
to do so.

If I were you I'd get Visual C# Express from Microsoft.

Strongly seconded!!

To get C# hurry though, it will only remain free until November 7'th.

Hadn't realized that. Thanks for the tip!

* - GAC = Global Assembly Cache, roughly a central registry/
clearinghouse for .Net components on the machine.
