• ClearDownloadCache Function
  Clears the global assembly cache of downloaded assemblies.

• CompareAssemblyIdentity Function
  Compares two assembly identities to determine whether they are equivalent.

• CompareAssemblyIdentityWithConfig Function
  Compares two assembly identities to determine whether they are equivalent, after applying portability policy elements from a specified configuration file.

• CreateApplicationContext Function
  Internal only. (This function supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.)

• CreateAssemblyCache Function
  Gets a pointer to a new IAssemblyCache instance that represents the global assembly cache.

• CreateAssemblyEnum Function
  Gets a pointer to an IAssemblyEnum instance that represents a list of objects that exist in the specified assembly.

• CreateAssemblyNameObject Function
  Gets a pointer to an IAssemblyName instance that represents the unique identity of the assembly with the specified name.

• CreateHistoryReader Function
  Creates a history reader for the specified file.

• CreateInstallReferenceEnum Function
  Gets a pointer to an IInstallReferenceEnum instance that represents a list of an application's references to the specified assembly.

• GetAppIdAuthority Function
  Gets a pointer to an IAppIdAuthority instance that manages keys for application identities and references.

• GetAssemblyIdentityFromFile Function
  Gets a pointer to an IUnknown object with the specified IID in the assembly at the specified file path.

• GetCachePath Function
  Gets the path to the cached assembly, using the specified flags.

• GetHistoryFileDirectory Function
  Retrieves the path of the application history directory.

• GetIdentityAuthority Function
  Gets a pointer to an IIdentityAuthority instance that manages keys for code objects.

• IsFrameworkAssembly Function
  Gets a value that indicates whether the specified assembly is managed.

• NukeDownloadedCache Function
  Deletes the common language runtime download cache.

• PreBindAssemblyEx Function
