I have a solution containing many usercontrol projects.
When I wish to reference a usercontrol in another project I can select
either the project or the assembly.
Does it make a difference which one I select?
Thanks

Jay,
The problem I have is that I have shared projects and I do not want to use
the GAC because that will change my deployment stragedy. I really like the
convience of using NTD but your projects must be XCOPY deployable.

For projects that are shared across solutions, that may be a good
convention.
I currently do not share projects across solutions, so I have not "crossed
that bridge yet".
I can see potential problems for projects destined for the GAC where this
may be an issue, however for shared projects that are destined for side by
side deployment I don't know if I would worry about it. As I stated above,
I have not "crossed that bridge yet".
Thanks for the additional info!

I do not have documentation. It was my understanding that this was an
accepted method. I generally compile my components outside of the
solution
and therefore need to reference the assembly. This way I do not
inadverntly
recompile the component if there are no changes, which can cause
problems if
there are other projects that depend on the component.
In short my posting was just my convention and apologize for any
misunderstandin g.

I only reference projects, when I do my final compiles (release
builds), using Build Solution, the child project is compiled first then the
parent project is compiled.
Do you have a documented case where the above does not work? I would be
curious to see it.
Hope this helps

Dan,
I normally use a Setup project to deploy my apps.
When you deploy your apps are you going to a single folder for all EXEs or
does each folder get its own EXE? If each EXE gets its own folder then each
folder will have its own copy of the DLL, so I don't see a versioning issue
per se.
If the DLL goes in the GAC or all the EXEs are in a single folder, then I
can see a versioning issue.
As I stated, I have not "crossed that bridge" yet, never the less, I do
appreciate the info for when I do reach that bridge.
Thanks again
