Question

I have a project Foo.BackOffice . it has a reference to Foo.Repository which I have NHibernate dlls.

When i publish Foo.BackOffice to IIS. It doesnt publish the dlls which are in Foo.Repository, NHibernate DLLs. But it does publish the Foo.Repository.dll.

How can I publish the dll’s that Foo.Repository has as reference.

Thanks.

From this connect issue:

The behavior you’re seeing is currently by-design. The compiler only
copies indirect references for which it can find a compile-time
dependency. In this case, it determines that your Web project doesn’t
have a compile time dependency on Project B. Direct dependencies will
always be copied.

You only have direct dependency on Foo.Repository not on Nhibernate.

So just reference the NHibernate dlls in your web project and they will copied during publish.
