body: <p>I have a dll installed in GAC. I have not issues reading that assembly from asp.net applications the assembly reference i have done in web.config is able to refer to that assembly.</p>
  
  <p>But in the console application, when i put the below in the app.config file, the solution gets compiled, but i am not able to access the dll from program.cs file.</p>
