Any ideas how to force a GAC DLL into referenced?
Here is my issue, I constantly use a 3rd party DLL that registers itself into the GAC, and when I use it in my project, it reads it from the gac, and when I deploy, I’m always forgetting to add the DLLs since it is not located in the Bin/Referenced folder.
Anyway to force Visual Studio to add the DLL instead of from GAC?
Right click on the assembly reference, select properties, and change “Copy Local” to true. That will cause it to copy the assembly into the deployment directory
