Hi there. I'm looking at a web project in VS.NET that has a reference with "Copy Local" equal "True". However when I open the corresponding .csproj file in a text editor, there is no "Private" attribute marked "True" in the reference's tag. Is there somewhere else that VS.NET might store this information, or am I missing something?
And just out of curiosity, I added the attribute 'Private = "True"' to the reference's tag. This caused Nant to copy ALL the references locally, as if that attribute were applied to all references. I'm using the latest Nant build. Still looking into whats going on, but I thought I'd throw this out there.

I took care of setting the "Copy Local" property of my file reference to "False", but the solution task still copies 43 files in my output directory. There is actually a slight difference of behaviour between Visual Studio and the solution task : - in Visual Studio, if Local Copy is not defined it is assumed as "False" (beware that the value you see in the IDE is not always written in the project xml file because False is the default value !) - in NAnt, if the attribute Private (which corresponds to "Copy Local") is not defined in the project file, and the reference is neither a project reference nor an assembly in the GAC, the CopyLocal value is set to TRUE !! I fixed that on my machine and it worked fine for my whole solution (25 projects). To summarise, I propose the following behaviour for the CopyLocal value : - always take into account the value of the Private attribute if defined - if not defined : * if it is a project reference then CopyLocal is true * if anything else (file present in gac or not) then CopyLocal is false It should work as I said if u change the following line (NAnt/VS.Net/Reference.cs, line 101 of current version) : _copyLocal = _privateSpecified ? _isPrivate : true; by this one _copyLocal = _privateSpecified ? _isPrivate : false; (it is in the else part, when the assembly is not in the GAC) regards, vincent -------- Message d'origine-------- De: Mike Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: jeu. 26/06/2003 23:11 À: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Objet: [Nant-users] Question about <solution> reference resolution behaviour Hi, I'm just starting to use the <solution> task and I'm a bit confused by its behaviour. If a project references a dll in a folder, <solution> seems to copy *all* the dlls from that folder to the build/output directory, not just the one that was referenced. In my environment, this leads to my output dirs having significantly more content in them when I use <solution> as opposed to when I use VS's compiler. Is there a reason for this behaviour?
