automatically including other references when adding a DLL to a project

Bob
Is it possible to have a DLL automatically include references to other DLL's
that it depends upon when it is added to a project?

The DLL you are adding needs those DLL's but the Assembly you are adding the
reference to does not necessarily need those DLLs, therefore the DLLs are
not added, because they are not required by the Assembly.

Your application will still work, even if those DLL's aren't referenced.

Certainly not required, but is it possible?

Hi... Our company has a fairly large client-server application and is very complex in its construction. The main point about that is there are a number of separate client pieces that require dependent project references to be maintained. For example, we have at the very bottom a data access layer application. On top of that there is layer that accesses that data access layer. Above that is a middle layer of classes and collections that are...

My Solution has three different projects: GUI, Api, Match. Project GUI includes a reference to Match.dll and Project Match includes a reference to Api.dll . Project Api doesn't include any references. Technically, GUI calls on classes/methods in Match, and Match calls on classes/methods in Api. Api doesn't include user-defined references. With Configuration Manager in "Release" (and all the projects in Release as well), when I rebuild...

Is there a way to automatically include C# files (.cs) generated by a third-party tool into a Visual C# .NET build? It's possible the set of files generated by this tool might change. Adding these files manually to the project would work in the short term, but this would require manual intervention if these generated files happened to change, and I'd like to avoid any unnecessary manual steps. NAnt and similar tools can include and...

I've authored a custom web component (a non-ui component kinda like a DataSet) and so far it's working. When my web component is added to the web form in the designer from the toolbox, the namespace for my component is automatically added to the using directive of the codebehind. And, the appropriate assembly is added to the "References" for the Web form's project. However, my custom component has a field (initialized to null, and...

If you add a reference to an ASP.NET 2.0 Web Project, where does it save that reference? I don't mean the DLL, I mean the reference to the DLL. In 2003 I believe it would put 1 line per assembly in the vbproj file, but there is no project file anymore in 2005.

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
