sorry for flogging a dead horse, but...

I've recently read a reply that says that when referencing a DLL that you've
built, you should reference it out of the 'obj' directory.
But the graphic on the help pag
ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2003FEB.1033/dndotnet/html/componentsnet.htm#componentsnet_topic1
clearly shows it being referenced out of the bin directory (when browsing
for the .DLL file of a generic assembly I've created).

What is the correct answer? I know it gets copied to the project's local
directory, but you can see how it's confusing.

AFAIK you should always reference a DLL from the bin directory.

Hi,

Is this a web app?

If so the bin directory is the site to look, the obj is a temp directory
IIRC. I had a link somewhere that explained where and in which order the
framework search/load the dll , I cannot find it now though :(

Cheers,

Hi Patty,

It is the bin directory where you need to look into, the obj is just a temp
directory.

Also note that you cannot always garantee that what you read in the
newsgroup is true, sometimes the post are wrong , even posts from MVP and MS
folks , nobody is perfect after all :)

Cheers,
