Use PowerShell to view contents of the Global Assembly Cache (GAC)

Question

Is there a way to use PowerShell to view the contents of the GAC?

Answer 1

If you want to search for a specific assembly in the GAC.

Also note, since MS has changed the GAC structure you can use the -Recurse option from the root to search all the GAC.

CD C:\Windows\assembly 
ls -Recurse | ?{$_.Name -like "*log4net*"}
