title: RegAsm - When is the /codebase option applicable?
body: <p>I have a COM-visible DLL written in C# that I would like to use in a VB6 application. I have two main use cases of the DLL and am wondering when the <code>/codebase</code> option is applicable and when it is better to register in the GAC.</p>
  
  <p><br/></p>
  
  <p><strong>Use cases:</strong></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>The DLL will be loaded onto another developers PC and needs to be accessible to the VB6 IDE under the <code>Project &gt; References</code> menu</p></li>
  <li><p>The DLL will be loaded onto production machines when the VB6 application is released</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><br/></p>
  
  <p>Any information on the appropriate use of the <code>/codebase</code> would be helpful.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
