Am I using ngen correctly?

Hi!

First, I put the assembly in the gac (it is strong named). Then I do "ngen install AssemblyName.exe"

Will this give me the maximum performance

You wouldn't put an .exe in the GAC, Ngen doesn't require it. Ngen provides faster startup but slower execution. Check this article for reference.

So I only put the one Dll i have in the gac - and i ngen both the dll and exe

Just the .exe, Ngen automatically processes any dependencies. You'd only have to put the DLL in the GAC if it is used by another app.

Ok. Thanks. So only the dll is in the gac and only the exe is ngened.
