You no longer have to register DLLs (or assemblies) on the system to use them. You can include private assemblies within the application’s folder structure.
Registry access is discouraged. Because of the variety of deployment options and the limited permission set granted to code, in some situations registry access is even prohibited. You can store configuration information and settings in XML files within the application’s folder structure.
