Abstract
An assembly management system allows a software service provider (SSP) to compile and upload client-specific client application code into a repository. The SSP deploys a client application comprising non-client-specific code to various clients. When a user logs in, a call is made to a web service, which queries the repository for code specific to the requesting client. If available, the web service sends a response with the name and version of the assembly to which the client is subscribed. If the locally-saved version does not match the version of the assembly in the repository, and if the SSP has permission to write to the client's disk, the web service retrieves the assembly and commits it to the disk. If the SSP does not have permission, the assembly is streamed to the client device and retained and executed in memory for the duration of the login.
