[2008] Properly reference 3rd party dlls for proper deployment

[Xancholy]

I am having problems properly referencing 3rd party dlls.

Where should they be stored in a project and how should they be referenced so that clickonce will properly deploy.

Thanks

anyone ?

The references should end up in the bin directory of your project and should be included with ClickOnce automatically. What kind of trouble are you having?

Does the 3rd party dll have to first be copied to project's Bin directory and then I set the reference to that dll in the bin directory ?

What happens if the original dll is on a removable drive.

When I go back into my project | Properties and tab references...

I still find the dll referenced to the removable drive's path...

1 Sorry I was away. You should not have to bring the dll manually but I
2 guess if you want to make sure it is included it will not hurt.
3 Visual Studio copies the dll to the bin from wherever it is located.
4 I think that it is done in the click once. If not copy it to the bin and point your reference to it.
Hope this helps

Thanks. I cannot figure out why when a ref is set to a dll on a removable drive, project reference remains set to that path.

It results in failure when the drive is not available.
