All--

Please help.

I am wondering...

...suppose that one has a VS.NET 2003 project that uses a file-based reference pointing to a common location for shared references for the following...

C:\projects\Shared\References\SD.LLBLGen.Pro.DQE.SqlServer.NET11.dll

C:\projects\Shared\References\SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.NET11.dll

Should those have: (1) CopyLocal=True; or, (2) CopyLocal=False; or, (3) either T or F because it does not really matter either way?

What do you think?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Use CopyLocal if you will be moving this application to other computers, since they won't be guaranteed to have the files in that location. I would use True.

From MSDN http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ez524kew.aspx

You may want to stick with the VS.Net defaults, which set the CopyLocal value according to the following rules (in order):

1- If the reference is another project, called a project-to-project reference, then the value is true. 2- If the assembly is found in the global assembly cache, the value is false. 3- As a special case, the value for the mscorlib.dll reference is false. 4- If the assembly is found in the Framework SDK folder, then the value is false. 5- Otherwise, the value is true.
