I'm starting to use the Data Access Application Block. Is
it a good practise to just place the DLL in the GAC and
have all yr projects pick it up from there? Or better to
keep a file reference, move it to bin directory. TIA.
 
I believe the Application Blocks are intended to be private to your
application. That's why they are not distributed in binary form. It gives
you the option to tweak the source on an app by app basis.
I don't believe there is any technical advantage to using the DLL in the
GAC. You still need to keep a local copy when building your projects
anyway.
