Assuming you have a namespace that is useful to more than one project in your company, in the format of “MyCompany.Core”, would you have an assembly named exactly the same way or just “Core”. Why or why not?

    Use the standard .NET naming conventions, assembly names are covered here. I’ll save you the (short) read:

    Do choose names for your assembly DLLs
    that suggest large chunks of
    functionality such as System.Data.
    Assembly and DLL names do not have to
    correspond to namespace names but it
    is reasonable to follow the namespace
    name when naming assemblies.

    Consider naming DLLs according to the
    following pattern:
    <Company>.<Component>.dll
    Where <Component> contains one or more
    dot-separated clauses.

    For example, Contoso.WebControls.dll.
