Running a dll in developement
- Thread starter jayscot
- Start date
By default, when you set a reference, VS.NET copies the referenced DLL into your referencing project's <releasetarget>\bin directory (where <releasetarget> is usually "debug" or "release"
That way it behaves like a private assembly and you have no versioning problems (like when you access it via the global assembly cache).
There is one big drawback, though, and that's if you make a change to the DLL. You will have to re-set the reference to the DLL, whereupon VS.NET will copy the new version to your project's <releasetarget>\bin directory, and you'll be able to make use of the new feature/bugfix.
