Does the "Resolve '#using' references", the /AI option, automatically use the dll's in my project's References folder?
 
Hello Jon,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, you use "#using" directive to
reference a DLL in your code and want to know if the compiler will
automatically search for it in all the directories of DLLs in the project's
References folder. Please correct me if there is anymisundersanding. I now
share the following information with you:

Based on my experence, it does not automatically use the dll's in a
project's Referneces folder. The compiler will look for it under some
specific folders say, the .NET Framework folder (for example:
"c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322"). For the dlls under other
folders, you can use one of the following method:

a. Specify the full path in the "#using" directive.
b. Use /AI option to specify the folder.
c. Add reference to it instead of using "#using".

Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.
