Assemblies vs Class Libraries (.NET)

Question

Could anyone point out the advantage of using assemblies, in the \'context\' of ASP.NET.

As I understand it, assemblies run as executables, have a single entry point

Answer 1

This question does not make a lot of sense. Assemblies contain class libraries, it is not an either or kind of thing. Even if you only have aspx files, the first time someone accesses a page, ASP.Net compiles it into a class and then an assembly on the fly.
