Can't debug unless copylocal=true?

[Brett Romero]

When I set copylocal=false on my project and try to step through it, I
get a file not found on one of my dependencies. The error is thrown
before anything executes. The file is in the referenced path I've set
in Studio. Everything should be fine. However, I can't walk through
until I set copylocal=true.

The program will run either way. It's just an issue when I try to
debug.

Any ideas why the difference and how I can debug with copylocal=false ?

Thanks,
Brett

Hello Brett,

copylocal=true copy all your references to the ouput directory, because app
uses all related dlls from the local folder.
When u put 'false' dll are in the origin location and you app can't see in
when is running (if your dll are not in GAC)

if u use copylocal=false for some references just install them in GAC

I think it is a little different than that Michael. Because VS.NET
does have references to the DLLs that you have added to your project
(you can see this in the configurations or when you add another DLL),
the app does in fact run just fine. The problem is "debugging" .
