# How does .NET help to manage DLLs on a system?

When you have multiple DLLs on a system, you are in what is known as “DLL Hell”. Managing the DLLs can be particularly difficult if there are multiple versions of the various DLLs. In the .NET framework, assemblies are managed using the information stored in their metadata, and you can store multiple versions of each in the GAC.
