Do you need to keep a DLL in the GAC and the bin directory?

I'm trying to set up a DLL in the GAC on a development server. It
seems to work as long as I have a DLL of the same name in the bin
directory of the project I'm working on.

Yes I have made changes to the bin DLL to make sure it isn't just
using that one and it does use the GAC version.

If I remove the bin DLL the application cannot find any of the classes
it would be loading out of that specific DLL.

Is this normal? Does it not matter at all what is in the bin DLL?
Just as long as there is a DLL there it is good?

Have you added a reference in your project to the dll in the GAC?
