Hi ,

i have project that is referencing a DLL that is configured in the GAC.
why on the build process a DLL copy is being copyed to the bin directory of the project?
the reason i configured the DLL in the GAC in the first place is becuase i want all my projects on the same machine that are referencing this DLL to reference the same copy that i can control.
isn't this the way to do this?
is there a way to configure the IDE not to make local copy of the DLL just the same as it is done with the framework DLLs?

TIA!!

Try opening up the properties window for the assembly and setting the property Copy Local to false.

thank you.
is there a way to configure the GAC DLL to have it's default CopyLocal=False as for the microsoft DLLs?
