Hi xenophon,
As for the application's assembly reference, the reference we added in IDE
is not quite the same as the reference that the application will locate at
runtime.... When we add the reference for our project in VS IDE, it just
pointed to a certain file on disk so that the IDE can find it and use it to
compile the project..... For strong-named assembly, IDE will record its
path on disk , however, the strong-named assembly is always marked as copy
local = false . And at runtime, .net clr runtime always search GAC first
for strong-named assembly, no matter how to reference the assembly in
IDE... Here is the msdn reference mentioned the .NET runtime assembly
locating rule:
#How the Runtime Locates Assemblies
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...untimelocatesa
ssemblies.asp?frame=true
Also, for manually force the runtime use a specific path instead of GAC for
our strong-named assembly, so far what we can get is using the <codebase>
setting:
#<codeBase> Element
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...eBase.asp?fram
e=true
In addition, for ASP.NET web application, we should always put strong-named
assembly in GAC (rather than private bin path) since ASP.NET does not
support strong-named assembly in private bin...
Thanks,
Steven Cheng

| Well, right now I think I have the problem solved by moving things

|
| ^shrug^ this didn't have to be different too compared to VS 2003.
