Copy Local Property

[Zeos6]

Hi,

Is there any way to set the copy local property for referenced assemblies to true from within NT? Please advise. Thank you.

Zeos6, could you please clarify?

Hi Austin,

Generally one should be able to reference properties of added assemblies. One such property is Copy Local. It can be set true or false depennding on whether you want the assembly copied into the bin. When you use reflection (on properties, for example) during dynamic build situations sometimes the reference assemblies get confused in the GAC and the compilation fails. One way around this is to set Copy Local to tru so the referenced assembly is loaded before the reflection etc. takes place. I am unable to access the assembly properties via Ninja in the dialog window.

Zeos6, this is unsupported territory.

Hi Austin,

I resptectfully disagree. NT provides the ability to add external assemblies. Why does it not allow access to the properties of the assembly being added?

Zeos, unsupported means it is probably possible, but we can't provide support for doing so for one reason or another. I never said it wasn't allowed/possible. One of the developers said what you are trying to do is possible, but we don't support accessing these types of properties.

A simple rule of thumb is: if what you're trying to do isn't in the help guide, it isn't supported.

OK. Thank you.
