I know that I can add a HintPath to an external DLLs to help Visual Studio/TFS find the dll when it builds.

What I was wondering is… is it possible to add multiple HintPath?

For example… developers have their DLLs for one place and we do a GetLatest of those DLLs at a different place on the server hence the need for multiple HintPath.

What do you think, world?

    This answer is no longer valid. As Sardaukar’s comment says, Visual Studio always blindly uses the last HintPath. Alex’s answer supports this.


    Alright. I’m faster than Stackoverflow this time. I tried to add it and it seems to work fine.

    So multiple HintPath IS possible.

    When you have this:

    <Reference Include='System.ComponentModel.Composition.Codeplex'>     <HintPath>..\..\..\MEF2_Preview2\bin\System.ComponentModel.Composition.Codeplex.dll</HintPath> </Reference> 

    You can simply add more hint path like that:

    <Reference Include='System.ComponentModel.Composition.Codeplex'>     <HintPath>..\..\..\MEF2_Preview2\bin\System.ComponentModel.Composition.Codeplex.dll</HintPath>     <HintPath>D:\MEF\System.ComponentModel.Composition.Codeplex.dll</HintPath> </Reference>
