How does .NET (or Visual Studio) build decide whether or not to copy a referenced assembly to your bin/debug or bin/release directory? (This is an .exe console program.)
On my machine, I had the referenced assembly in the GAC. A co-worker copied my bin/release to their machine, and it wouldn’t run because the referenced asssembly was not in the bin/release (and not on their GAC).
Thanks,
Neal Walters
If the assembly is not in GAC, then its copied. The CopyLocal attribute in properties window, tells if the assembly will be copied or not.
